I picked up my car and never noticed it until today because I always have the music on. But today, I turned off the music and noticed this water sound near where the dash meets the windshield. It sounds like water going left to right and right to left when I turn the car left/right. I read that it is air in the cooling system, that is trapped in the heater core. But not sure if this is common with Astons or how to fix it?

Known fault on the db9, water can get into the subframe apparently, easyfix think dealer will drill drainage hole! Although mine sounded as if it was behind seats, Neil

I have a V8 Vantage. After driving, the water sound seems to be less apparent. I barely take out the car and it is always garaged. It doesn’t rain here. Is it really air trapped?

Have a look at the aperture on the windscreen which shows the VIN number of your car, if there are signs of moisture in the aperture then you might have a leaking windscreen. I had this exact problem (water sloshing sound only from left to right etc) and removal and refitting the windscreen solved the problem

Was expensive to remove and reinstall the windshield or was it covered under warranty?

Had similar on my V12 Vantage, it turned out to be the door seal that had gone.
