Does anyone hear like water or fluid sounds inside their JK?

No it's not bad as long as it's not running hot. If there is air in the cooling system, it's most likely low. Check the radiator coolant level, when it's cold obviously, and see if it needs to be topped off. If it does need to be topped off, and the coolant overflow jug is full, have the radiator cap checked.
As the engine warms, the coolant expands and builds pressure in the cooling system, which is regulated by the radiator cap. Once that pressure exceeds the rating of the cap, it bleeds coolant off into the overflow jug. As the engine cools the cap allows coolant to be pulled back into the radiator, keeping it full. However, if the cap doesn't allow coolant back in, you end up low in the radiator.
That's the shortened version, just check the radiator. Drive it for a couple days, and see if it if you have any more issues.

If you have a hardtop, one of the front roof panels can fill with water. I have a 2008 Rubicon 4 door and my passenger side panel filled with water. I could hear it slosh back and forth. Take them off and turn the windshield side edge down and shake them, water my come out, if it does, the panel is defective. Under warranty, get new panel. No warranty, find the seam where the water went in and seal it.

I had this issue. I fixed it by topping off the fluid in the resivior and under the cap. Then I went for some spirited driving while rapidly switching between max heat and max cool. Somehow it's supposed to bleed the heater core. I have no idea if its true or not but it worked for me twice
