Default IS AWD making weird noise when driving at slow speeds

Hello my car is making a weird water like noise driving at slow speeds in the rear. I would believe its the gasoline since it sounds like a fluid however this noise has not been present before. Also it might be present at higher speeds but i dont hear it maybe because of road noise. This is really conceerning to me and in the video uploaded it presents the condition.

have you checked under your trunk where the spare tire is? Sometimes the drains get clogged and water starts getting stored. but that's my best guess

Yea just did, i didn't see any liquid in the trunk where the spare is and it was an isssue that had started after my car misfired (which i probably need to do the top end clean for **the misfire)

The check valve on the fuel pump jet line could be bad. It's the mechanism that draws gas from the right side of the tank. I'm not sure if it's just dumping gas back into the tank.

Did you slam the door at the beginning? All I could hear is what sounded like the radio. Was it on?

You need to figure out when it started. Does it go away. Does it increase when you accelerate? Are you sure it is fluid noise or could something be rubbing? Are you able to pin point the noise to a smaller area of the vehicle. Put up a better recording and capture just the noise.

I know some folks were saying that water gathered somewhere in the speaker area and it messed up their AMP or something like that. Would need to search the forum.
