Rattling behind driver side.

There is a Rattle when im on the freeway behind somewhere by the back seat on the drivers side. Has anyone had this problem and know exactly where the sound is coming from?

I have noticed that if you have changed your exhaust, under vibration it may be hitting on the tortion bar that is right beneath the exhaust pipe. Check it out.

No exhaust is fine. The sound is coming from the inside of the car (where you backseat passenger would sit on the driver's side).

No... the sound isn't that bad. It almost sounds like the window behind the driver on the side is loose and hitting the car. Only thing is, when i reach back there to hold the window the sound doesn't go away meaning it's not the window. Anyone had this problem before?
