We are fortunate not to have those fueling issues in MD. I'm in CA this past week and having the fueling issue at half the stations with the rental car. Have to hold the nozzle at a certain angle and partial flow to avoid premature cutoff.

Sounds like air escaping causing the little anti theft cover to vibrate. If that is what is Happening, you have more pressure in your tank than anything I've experienced. Seems like it should be venting better than that. Are you using ethanol blend? Is it warm where you are? Is the car hard to fuel?

On several occasions last summer, I heard the same sound. Lasted 5-10 seconds. Both times it happened, the weather was warm (which around here, doesn't happen that often). Figured it was the equalization of my fuel tank pressure (which built up due to the warmer weather) with the ambient outside air pressure. (In FL, I would expect you'd hear that sound often.)
Don't think anything is wrong. Due to emission and evaporative controls, fuel tanks are sealed pretty good these days. I've heard "whooshing" sounds before, when I opened the fuel caps on other vehicles. But, I gotta admit. When I heard the sound for the first time, I did look around to see if anyone else was checking out my "tuned" gas tank.

This was an hour commute to work and I stopped 3/4 of the way at my favorite Sunoco station. Highway speeds up to 85 mph and some stop and go town driving at 5:00 am.

Try my idea of 100+ and call me in the morning.

I'd guess it's some part of the vapor recovery system not working correctly? I got a new purge control valve when mine threw a code, although I didn't notice any symptoms.
Here's a discussion of a Boxster which sounds like it has the same issue.

Just figured it out.
Seems my Jag was built with the "AB" option. Rarely seen, the option is more commonly referred to as the "Afterburner" option and is offered on supercharged versions only. Apparently, under certain refueling conditions, the AB's plenum chamber goes through some sort of cool-down process. Odd, though, that my optional equipment list doesn't list the "AB" option.

I figure this issue may well be traced to something amiss in the EVAP system. DJS's response on the purge valve is certainly a possibility, although there have been no temporary/existing codes thrown of which I'm aware. I'll see what's up when I come in for servicing next month.
