After car accident, fit sounds funny

So, i had a huge accident in which my transmission, radiator, coolant, and some other mechanical/body damage was repaired. Now, whenever I start my car or accelerate after braking, I hear a some liquid sloshing sound that is only noticeable when you are in the cabin with the windows rolled up. The AC system is turned off, so Im just curious if anyone has any idea what it could be? The car feels and drives fine, albeit the ice crunching sound.


EDIT:

Nevermind. I think there could be air in my radiator since i just got a new radiator. Anybody think this is the case too?

possibly radiator like you said, but most likely the gas tank on which you're sitting

after accidents we tend to be more perceptive to anything "wrong" with our cars

One other oitem to check is the A/C collector tray and drain especially if the sloshing appears in the dash.
And make sure the block was vented on refill too.
Good luck.

^^^ +1. i think it's your coolant. you got air in the cooling system. bleed it and fill until you get the air out. should fix it.

i get the same thing when my gas tank is around half full. in my case, its the gas, and i havent been in an accident. maybe the gas tank is sitting different?

or maybe it always sounded like that, but now your just more aware of sounds and such because of the accident.
