Lolz. I have the same issue. I never figured it out. If anyone has any idea, please help us! It kind of sounds like a rock rolling around in the center console for me though.

Air in your coolant system
There is too much air in your coolant system. Me and my dad had the same issue with our Gs. We fixed both cars by opening the radiator cap a little when the car was heated to let the air seep out. Use a towel and becareful not to open the cap all the way and let the coolant spray you or get on your skin. Also, your coolant level maybe low when the car is cool check your radiator and the reserve. I know for sure this is the issue you are having. When I first bought my GS the problem drove me crazy. When I would accelerate from a complete stop it sound like someone was pouring a bottle of water down my console.

I had the same sloshing sound on starting and stopping. It was air in the cooling system. Stupid jiffy lube guys checked the coolant by opening the radiator cap. That will do it. Had to go to the dealer to get it fixed. Next time, told the jiffy lube guy DO NOT OPEN THE RADIATOR CAP!! What did they do? Opened the radiator cap. No more jiffy lube visits for me after that.
