can you hear the gas swoosh around in your gas tank?

i noticed this quite awhile back...when i come to a stop in my driveway, i usually hear some swooshing sound but dont know for sure what is causing it...

i think i've narrowed it down to the gas swooshing around the gas tank...it's most noticeable when i have a full tank of gas...

has anyone else noticed the sound?

I was going to guess you may have air trapped in the coolant and that is where it is coming from.

But sometimes I have also heard gas moving around back there when I have the radio off and I make a hard stop. I was going to ask if it happened when you came to a stop?

it's only audible if i come to a stop then shut off the engine...i can hear it again if i purposely shake the car...the sound comes from the rear of the car...

You sure you don't have water trapped in the trunk?
