Wierd Gargling/bubbling noise

Ok today i must have been in my car about 5 times, each time I started it up there is a weird sound coming from behind the clusters (so it seems) When I give it some gas it goes away. When I come to a light it starts back up. So I popped the hood this last time out and it sounds like it is coming from around my brake boster, that area. The car is running fine and all but it is just worring me. Any ides?

Broken brake booster?

Do you hear a "plooossssshhhh" kind of sound when you step on the brakes?

Try lifting the brake pedal with your toe to see if the noise changes.

Had one of these cut open lately?

Heater core? wouldnt that be on the passenger side? This is coming from right behind the gauge cluster and by the break booster. I replaced the heater core and hoses last winter.
