My girlfriend's 07 LX sedan is making a weird liquidy sound. The best I can explain it is that it sounds like a fish tank with a water pump. You can't notice it really when the car is moving moderately, but it is noticeable when it's driving slow or stopped. The sound doesn't occur all the time, it's pretty random. You can hear it from outside the car and inside as well. There are no leaks under the car or in the engine compartment. Has anyone experienced a sound like this from their car?

On a side note, we took the car in to the dealership for the pulley bolt recall and asked the service adviser to put a note to have a mechanic check out the sound. They said they didn't see anything mechanically wrong, but asked if she had been in an accident, which she had been (a minor one). They asked if the noise started occurring after the accident, and it did, but it started like a month or so after the car had been repaired. The dealership said that they wouldn't cover inspection for the noise since it happened after the accident? Is there any way to get around this since the few damaged parts in the car were replaced with brand new ones?
