Default Hearing water slushing around in my car

So recently I noticed that when I brake or accelerate from a stand still I can hear water slushing around from the passenger side of the car. It sounds like it is coming from the underside of the car somewhere but I have no idea where or how? Has anyone had this issue before? What can I do to fix this?

i bet its comming from your door. try shaking the door and listen for water. mine did that.. if thats the case then take a tooth pic to the drain hole on the bottom of the door.

i wish you luck man! mine used to do that in heavy rain storms. it took 2 tries. just stick a tooth pic type of item up in the hole and knock it around a little. its probably clogged. Im not really sure.. i dont have a sunroof but my windshield leaked once but wasnt near enough water to cause "sloshing"

there's a drain towards the bottom of the door jam i believe, that may need to be unclogged.
