It's just the gas vapors in the tank expanding. It will do it even out of the sun. Mine does it all the time in the garage. The gas cap has a tiny vent with a tiny diaphragm in it, so it opens and closes on the amount of vapor pressure. Of course if you're still not sold on that, there are few videos and threads about the same noise. It is very common and highly documented. If you doubt it is the tank, leave the gas cap open after it has been ridden and see if it makes the noise.
