I'm gonna imagine it's air trapped inside. Why no exhaust fan? Even if you aren't air cooling you should have an exhaust fan  IMO

 

prob just an air bubble trapped inside

You were right!  After some more tilting and some VERY light tube squeezing, the noise stopped, and the water settled down

 

Thank You

I just assembled my loop for the first time, and it seems to be working (Coloured tubing, so I can't see the water). I heard it hit and fill both rads, and I'm no longer losing water, but the water sounds like its trickling from the bottom of 980 tubing.

 

I have power cycled multiple times, tilted the case in all the directions, but it still makes that sound. There is no water coming out of it, so it isn't a loose fitting.

 

Is this something to be worried about? Or is this normal?
