I've seen head gasket leaks do this when compressed air is introduced into the cooling system. You can hear it going though the heater core.
The only other thing you could have that may sound like something flowing under the dash is a slight vacuum leak.
Brookings, nice place!

Sounds like you have Air in the coolant line. Buddy of mine had that same noise, ended up being the gasket around the thermostat housing. It sounded like it was coming through the passanger side air vents.

My 96 does it at startup but only sometimes. I do have a mystery coolant leak that comes and goes so air in the coolant is what I suspect on mine. If it is heater core related the sound will come from the passenger side footwell, if it is under the driver side I would suspect a vacuum leak - maybe a vent vacuum actuator with a split in it.
Try the different vent combinations and see if it comes and goes. Now that I think about it I have had a leaking pushrod seal in a power brake booster give me the same kind of noise on a gas motor - not enough leak that the vacuum went away on braking but enough to barely hear.
Let us know if you find the culprit.

I was just there in early February. We went up to Coos Bay to play in the dunes! Gorgeous coastal town. I'm considering moving there in a couple years.
I'll be back after the '06 New Year!
