I have a 9-3SS and regardless of if I have the heat on or a/c on I always hear the running water sound, Im thinking its from it looks like theres coolant lines just below the wiper motor (the lines travel up and over the cabin filter housing) If anyone knows why please let me know or maybe this is normal?

Could be air in the coolant lines or the beginning of a bad radiator. Also, the return from the cabin is a massive failure point. Remove the heat shield (remove 2x 10mm bolts and pull up) and check the return connection. The hose you're looking for has a heat shield around it. I usually spin the lock ring with pliers to make sure.

I don't hear anything as far as water. I do hear something reminiscent of a truck idling but not distinctly enough to say whether something is wrong...I can't tell if your A/C was on but it could have even been foam blocking up the vents a bit if that were the case. Definitely nothing concerning to me as heard in that short vid.
