Default “Bubbling” Coolant

So after some hard driving the other night I popped my head in my trunk to get something and heard a bubbling coming from the coolant cap. I just topped off my coolant as well as got a new coolant cap from Suncoast, so I’m curious what this could be and how worries I should be.

See the attached video:

Nobody? I’m worried about this but with temps not ever rising above half way after aggressive driving, I don’t know how worried I should really be.

Its just pressure escaping from the coolant cap. If the bubbly sound happens after you replaced with a new cap, I wouldn't worry about it unless the coolant level goes down in a short timeframe.

Thanks for the info. The car was about a quart low on coolant when I purchased it but since filling, have not had any issues with the level dropping down. Just want to be sure I don't have a time-bomb on my hands
