Well I have noticed a waterfall sound at around 2krpms, I have narrowed it down to 5 possibilities, but again I'm not as sharp when it comes to accuracy. Can someone please confirm how accurate these are?
Hopefully it will be easier on the people who search
Keep in mind I'm 15 and don't know as much as everyone else. But here's my effort.

Fixing the waterfall sound
---------------
1. Hearing a waterfall sound coming from somewhere around the dash
INFO : When you hear a waterfall sound coming from your dash, it can mean many things, but this is more than likely water rushing into your heater core
A : This is a common symptom of a blown head gasket. Because this is the biggest task to replace for the home mechanic under minor experience, make sure that the BHG is the last possible cause before replacing.
B : Radiator cap, this is easy to replace, locate, and cheap to purchase. Try this first
C : Leak in the coolant system, make sure that most major hoses are in good condition, meaning it isn't expanded, cracked, or have a pinpoint hole in them. When trackingthe leak, you can NEVER tell where the leak is by the location of the puddle, due to the fact the coolant can fall, land on a hose, and follow the hose untill hitting the ground and thus, creating a puddle.
To check, get the car warm. The reason of getting the car warm is to create pressure in the coolant system. Locate most coolant hoses and squeese them with your fingers (Please wear safety glasses, as coolant can shoot in your eyes). If coolant shoots out of a pinpoint hole replace the hose once the system has cooled.
Also check your gaskets, such as your thermostat gasket and feel with your dry fingers if you can spot a leak
D : Your thermostat might be bad, replace this after checking hoses and replace the radiator cap
E : Flush the radator, and bleed the coolant system
