Default Central heating airlock?

Probably just a pocket of air that is getting swept along as the pump
starts. Eventually you should be able to bleed it from one rad or
another.


More likely the air collects above the pump, gets pumped down when the
pump switches on (hence the swishy sound) then rises above the pump
again when it turns off - the air never reaches a radiator.
