Question Odd noises from the air con?

I've started to hear some odd noises that I think are coming from the air con and sounds kinda fluidic (can't put an exact description to it). It only really seems to happen when I start the car up.

Does anyone know what this might be?

Yep, sounds like you need the air con re charging.

Or it could be air in the heater matrix.

I hear these noises when I switch off the engine after a journey... always thought these were normal and related to the aircon 'shutting down'?
