gas in the tank :-O.
It's gasoline sloshing and making a big wave and crashing inside the tank. It's a known problem for 9-5 US only (??) cars.
Someone may correct me, but it was due to a design change to the gas tank to meet some US emission issues. Some early 9-5s don't have that problem, neither are non-US bound cars.
There is a partial fix to the problem by putting foam baffles (non-disintergrating type I was told) into the tank. Reduction of tank volume is minimal but it does reduce the sloshing and breaking wave sound. You may want to inquire about the fix at your Saab dealer; there should be a service bulletin to that effect.
If the sound doesn't bother you, then you may just let it be and consider it a Saab feature or quirk.
However, it's a bit of a blunder in a $40K plus car.
