Default Weird Noise in cockpit.. like running water in A.C what do you think

I have weird noises that came up in the last year.
The weirdest one is that A.C. like noise that sounds like running water in the refrigiration tubing. A 'gurgle' type of noise.
And of course it is happening without the A.C. on but regular climate control (even by 0c).

The second one is a fan noise coming from the Climate control. I already had it replaced once and it seems to creep up on me again.

This TT sure rattles a lot for a 1.5 year old car, and don't get me started on the privacy shelf that seems to have a rattling feature built-in...

Default The "water in AC "may be a clogged drain, look on pass side (on engine bay) >>

there should be a little hose /drain at the firewall, below the expansion valve (way down there) that may need to be cleaned up (run a wire through the drain to dislodge the clog). no diagrams as i don't have Bentley at work....

Hope this helps

Default Heh, my car has more rattles than Toys R Us.

Now that it is getting cold I can't identify where a rattle is coming from because there are so many.
