Are you sure it is a sloshing sound? Where do you hear it coming from? Apparently, the ABS system activates the solenoids to check them when you first start off when you hit about 4MPH. I thought it was something sloshing around too until I read about the ABS system's self daignostics.

Patiently cycled and Lysol-ed all vents from blower, installed a CAF & changed my a/c usage habits.
Gone is the smell so far...
Had to see how the Lysol holds up since I had it handy.

Ahh,, glad to hear that it's normal.
Got a link with a good read about this please and thank you.

UPDATE:
Just over a month: Lysol is gone, back is the smell.
