What's this noise? Whump Whump Whump

Sometimes after I come to a complete stop I hear a whump whump sound coming from the back. It doesn't happen right away (it's delayed about 5-10 seconds) and its not a sloshing (like gas in the tank). Has anyone else heard this and do you know what it is?

LOL

It doesn't sound like a bad noise, and it doesn't happen all of the time. It's kinda low low in sound level maybe 70dB. Just wondering if anyone else has heard it...

That's pretty loud for a thump... That's like an obnoxious alarm clark, or a vacuum cleaner, lol.

I would imagine it to be in the 30-40 decibal range.

brain f@rt... Normal conversation = 64dB. This must be around whisper level or 35-40dB. Loud enough to be noticed, but not obnoxious.
