No. Coolant is already in the cooler. Because there are no air bubbles inside, you cannot hear any liquid swishing sound.

So, I just got my Kraken X61 from NZXT and I opened it with excitement yada yada yada, but I didn't hear any liquid. So my question is, do I need to purchase some liquid mixture sort of thing or what?

 

Thanks!

The X61 is a fully closed loop. You should not do any kind of maintenance apart from removing dust from the fans, and applying thermal paste whenever re-mounting the cooler.

Well, installing a cpu cooler involves a lot of steps. But you don't need to put liquid in it.

Quoted the wrong thing. But I think you get the idea.
