What's with the weird sound when I move the bike

I just got a 2009 Ninjette and I noticed that there's a sound that comes from the gas tank when I move it

The sound is hard to explain

Is it normal ?

addendum ---- sorry i wasn't clear it is when the motorcycle is off and cold. and reading the responses i think it can be a pressure release of some sort...thanks for the comments.

i know i make noise when i release pressure :-)

Is it when you are riding the bike? as in it is turned on and running?

or when you "rock" the bike when it is off?

Normal with the 250's. I believe it's just pressure from the gas tank but nothing to worry about.

Could it be this:

It's become a meme on this site. Especially after this thread.

Yes very normal. Mostly happens when the weather gets hot.

when the bike is off and cold--- it'll happen if whether i touch it or not
my guess from the responses is that it is from the gas tank (pressure release)
