Exclamation Thump

Whenever I go over a little pimup in the road or uneven road, I hear a raddling sound from what it appears from under the rear speakers or rear seat. I checked everywhere, The speakers are tight, nothing is loose from what I ca tell. What could it be? The onyl thing I did not chk is the batter under the rear seat. Any thoghts? Thanks

I drive E320 Yr 2000 45k Miles

Funny. I've got the same rattle. I always thought it was just my car. I never really investigated it because I always forget when I get home. But it definitely sounds like something in the rear deck even though it all seems pretty secured back there.

Check if something is rolling around or stuck in the spare tire compartment also make sure the spare is tightend down.

Two potential reasons:

1. Spare wheels get loose from the lock. Make sure it's secured tight onto the floor

2. Rear shock could be gone.
