sloshings

Waves in containers

Sloshings are instances of liquid moving noisily or messily—the repeated splashing sounds or movements of water, mud, or other fluids: the sloshings of waves against the hull, sloshings of beer from overfilled glasses.

The word captures both the sound and the chaotic motion of liquid being disturbed.
