Default Sloshing noise

Hello everyone, my car when braking to a stop sounds like there is a sloshing sound. Almost like a if you had an almost empty gallon of milk and shook it, that would be the best way to replicate it. Anyway, I think maybe it's the gas tank or something? Any input would be helpful, thanks

Check for water in your trunk and under the tool kit, you may have a leaky soft top or trunk seal.

I know I have the water in the trunk problem, but I had assumed it was all evaporated by now. Hasn't rained here in about 3 weeks, but will be sure to check

Check the drain holes in the bottom of your doors are clear. Most sloshing noises in cars is water lying in the bottom of doors.

Betting you have stopped up soft top drains. The water collects and stays in the drains and will slosh around very audibly. Mine is doing it again even though I cleaned my drains thoroughly when I replaced my top. Just need to go through them again.
