This is an old  issue, but i found the solution about a week ago, so:
The noise from the tank came from inside the filter box.
In the filter box at the fron right side there is an plastic thing that
seems to be an opening to the bottom. This was loose, (if you put your hand
there you will see if it moves or not) and as soon as i had my mechanic fix
it it was gone!
So, check it out.
