2009 Outback makes chugging noise on acceleration

Asked by ElClimbr Jun 12, 2018 at 03:55 PM about the 2009 Subaru Outback 2.5i

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My car makes a low chugging/glugging noise while accelerating.  I have not noticed any loss of power, but the car is new to me.  There is no hesitation, and the feel of the acceleration is just fine.  It's just a concerning noise.  Enough to worry about?  Any ideas what it might mean?

I would have someone familiar with Subaru's drive it. Maybe nothing is wrong.
