Default water trickling sound

My apologies if this was brought up before. My baby is a GS 2019 bought used and l am noticing for the first 5 minutes on a cold start it sounds like water trickling. As l am new to the C7 world is this sound normal? Thank you all for any replies.

Mine does as well I believe it is the dry sump oiling system.

Interesting - would not have thought about the dry sump system making a noise like that.

Definitely the dry sump! Completely normal.

Yep, I found it unnerving as well until I found out what it was. Now when it happens it reminds me how cool it is!

I used to have the same thing, but after I checked my supercharger coolant and my engine coolant levels, I haven't really heard it since. I have a dry sump also
