Is it normal to hear the gas tank on cold starts?

I recently got my car back from the dealer, the rear bumper and rebar were replaced
it was a minor accident, paint just got scratched abit

but now I got the car back and on cold starts I can hear what sounds like bubbles and when I start to drive I can hear water sloshing around.

I think this is the gas tank? The car is a 2010 I got recently so I never noticed it before, but is it normal to hear the gas tank pressurize like this at start?
Anything else come to mind? is there a rear wiper spray canister? I also had the oil changed, this is not related to that?
