Window unit air conditioners use the cold water in the bottom of the unit to splash against the hot condenser coil to help with energy efficiency. That’s why you hear the sloshing noise. It won’t damage the unit to drill a hole in the bottom to drain water, but it will lower its efficiency.

I have 2 window units and one must be like Coda says, it sloshes.
The other puts out a kitty litter bucket worth between morning and evening choring.
I dump it on my tomatoes.
