Q200 gas control making a fart sound when turning on

has anybody experienced when turning on the gas control knob, that it makes a farting sound?

i cleaned my q200 over the weekend. left it on the lawn to dry and when it was time to use it. it started making that sound.

swapped propane tanks and it still made that sound.

any thoughts?

btw, I converted mine for me to use the regular 20lb tank.
 
Tape the regulator with a screwdriver handle while its making the sound, turn off the bottle while the valves are on. Once the gas is exhausted, turn off the valves fully, then turn on the bottle, open both valves full blast and relight. If you still have a problem it could be the gas in the bottle is contaminated. That happens if you don't drain out the air in the tank between fills
 
My grill has been connected to the same tank that I got new. I've grilled several times using the same tank.

The only thing different that I did was to clean the grill. At that time, the tank was still half full.
