Sorry to come back so late to the subject, but I was a little
disappointed that nobody gave the equivalent English phrase (maybe I
didn't read all the replies, though.... There were a lot on this topic):

"The empty can rattles the most."

If you would like confirmation that I didn't just make this saying up,
you could listen to "My Friend of Misery", by Metallica.  Or you could
not.  Either way, that's the closest phrase we have to it.
