Odd noise/Question

Not sure if this is even the right place to put it, for its not really a problem... at least yet..

I was sitting in car yesterday waiting for my food to be ready at this little panini shop we got around me.. Obviosuly with the car running, sitting in park, all of a sudden i get a couple thud-like-noises from the back of my car. It almost sounds like a couple soft knocks on the boot, then it stops, but of course no one is there knocking. This happens often enough, for it is not the first time i heard it, but I cant seem to make it happen. There will be 3-4 "knocks", then nothing again for a little while.. Its very strange, and not all that worrysome but just wanted to see if anyone else had this problem (if it even is a problem)..

Cheers!

It's the gas tank pressurizing. There's a million posts on here about it. It's perfectly normal. (acutally there would be something wrong if it wasn't happening)

Hey thanks a lot brett..! I knew it was either completely normal and common or just something that I would never be able to find out the answer to. Tried searching for it but everything I came up with just wasnt this (non)problem.

Again thanks for the help
