It's not very loud. If you have you tank between 3/4 and full, close your windows and turn off your radio and I'm sure you'll probably hear it. You'll probably hear it now because you'll be specifically listening for it!

I can hear this sloshing noise too (SE V6 2007). A tip to hear it is try to drive in a quite place, like a parking garage, brake the car to stop normally. Then you can hear something like caused by a heavy object is rolling in the trunk. Shut the window/ac/fan/radio. It puzzled me quite some time to figure it out what is the source of the noise.

How often do you drive to a quiet place like a parking garage, brake the car to stop normally, shut the window/ac/fan/radio to see if you can hear any car noise?
The Sonata IS quiet, but it's not a sound isolation booth.

I agree with it not being a problem. I have an '07 Platinum Ed. and the only time I hear gas sloshing is when the tank is over 3/4 full, the radio is off and I make a sudden stop a low speeds (backing into a parking space for example). Again, this is not a problem and is not distracting in any way.
I think since Hyundai has little ways to go in becomming a highly reputable auto manufacture, people may look for things to be wrong. I was a doubter myself but decided to take a chance. I have had the car for six months now and I couldn't be more pleased.

No I am not saying this is a defect or failure. I want to say this thing exists. And a quiet place helps you to hear it. In fact, it does not have to be in a quiet place to find it. I firstly noticed it just during my daily commuting. It sounds like something rolling over the trunk. Last Monday I finally removed everything in the trunk and did some google search and found the term "sloshing". That is not a big deal to many ppl. But it bothered me for some time. Now I am kind of relieved.

I don't know if it was officially remedied or not, but my 08 does not do it. The car is really quiet, and I have never heard any gas sloshing, and I did listen.
