Just go deaf, a lot less worries then. ;)

I am deaf! And it causes worries.
Just gotta keep my ear to the ground for any niggling sounds, or trust the techie to find out what that mysterious ticking noise is. He did: it was spare change in the console box.

Sloshing in the fuel tank so was a thing in the VZ too. Fill 'er up to the first click-off and refill at 3/4 empty.

Once had a car where the rear door water drains were blocked. Distinct sloshing sounds from the driver's side rear. 10-second fix.

Only at certain level in the tank. Usually disappears very quickly in a V8
But you have to re fill it again. I'm lucky, I'm partly deaf and I keep the tank full most of the time to stop this.

Hi guys, I’ve noticed a weird issue with my 2014 SV6 VF, whenever I go to stop or drive slow I can hear a sloshing sound coming from my fuel tank/ rear of my car. It’s on and off, sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn’t, I’m really confused to what it is as it hasn’t happened in any other car I’ve owned. Is it just my fuel or is there a bigger problem?
Your past the test because you must have very good hearing to hear the issue.

This might be unrelated, but my VE rear doors keep filling with rain water, sounds like what you are describing.
I haven't found the cause yet, only pull the rubber where the wires go in the bottom of the doors.
If anyone has had this problem, and found a solution, I'd love to here it.

My VE has rain water filling the back doors. This might be unrelated, but sounds like what you are describing.
I let the water out by lifting the rubber where the wires go in the bottom of the doors.
If anyone has found a solution to this , I'd love to hear it.
Hope this helps.

There should be drains in the bottom of the doors, just unblock them.
