Default SC430 Ride Is So Quiet I Can Hear Gas Moving Around in Gas Tank

Today I was parking my SC430 on a very quiet lot and noticed that the engine is to quiet that when I move the car back and forward I can actually hear the gas in the (nearly full) tank moving around.

This goes to show how quiet the SC430 really is. I am very pleased!

Anyone else notice this?

While the insulation / sound deadening in the SC430 is excellent, I too have heard the gas sloshing around in the tank. But that was only once or twice when the radio was off. Think it was a nearly full tank, too. Might be partially due to the proximity of the seats to the gas tank.

I've already pulled up behind someone outside their vehicle and they didn't hear me.

Quite often, the SC is as quiet as a Rolls!
