2006 Volkswagen Jetta 4 cyl 75000 miles

I filled up my tank, and gas tank light came on. I opened and recapped gas tank lid. Light goes off. Now i hear what seemed to be a thumping near the gas tank (like someone was inside my trunk - which there isnt).

Undo cap/redo cap - thumping gone, gas light back on. Whats the deal?

Is there an excessive amount of pressure when you open the fuel cap?
