Question A/C refrigerant lines

Can somebody give me some insight on gurgling refrigerant lines on new construction Goodman heat pump?
Thanks for any advice. BC

Default Re: A/C refrigerant lines

That is common on Goodman units.
The sound is from the restrictor piston at the evaporator coil.

This can be an indication of a low refrigerant charge.
If all else functions, I would let it go.

Grab the suction line. If it is cool-cold to the touch, there is likely sufficient refrigerant charge.
