Buzzing from Back Seat Somewhere
For a while now, I've been hearing a buzzing noise (buzzing like a high-pitched rattle, not electrical) coming from somewhere in the back seat area. At first, I thought the subwoofer grill cover in the center of the seat might be loose, but that's not it. Then I thought maybe one of the seat belt latches, but no luck there either. The buzzing occurs whether top is up or down, windows open or closed, and only at higher speeds (like above 35mph). Has anyone experienced this particular quirk - it's driving me nuts.

it may be that one of your side panels came loose, and something is vibrating against the panel... check that...
Or, maybe someone dropped some coins somewhere in the back, and its vibrating against a piece a metal...

Rattling irritation
sfsig,
Mine does this also and I have it located to the rear seat latches in the trunk. If I "unlatch" them, the "rattling" stops, but I have yet to figure out how to cure this irritation.
If you figure it out, I'd love to hear it!
Take care!
