My rear is making banging sounds

Today while I stopped at a light, I heard a sound like a ball was rolling in a steel drum or like a ball banging in a steal drum in the rear. Could that be a bad cat or something broke loose in my gas tank. I constantly get the sound when I stop or press the brakes.

Having read around here quite a bit, there is a baffle that comes loose in the tank.

The dealer replaced the tank under EasyCare warranty.
