Rattling Sound Behind Drivers Seat

There is a rattling sound every time I turn quickly around a bend. I have torn the car apart searching for this rattle and still with no luck. Anyone else have this problem... I will be so grateful as I am about to go insane with this rattle.

Have you checked the rear seat air duct under the drivers / passenger seat to be sure it is clear of debris. I've got a four year old boy that has dropped M&M's or Lego pieces into this duct. It is only heard "rattling" when it rolls around in the duct during turns. The proper adapter on your vacuum makes easy work of clearing. Pull the front seat all the forward into the closest position to the dash and the duct is easily serviceable.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I have checked that many times but one more time will not hurt. The best I can describe the rattle like one of those shakers that one would put protein powder in. It sounds like the metal ball rolling around in plastic. The object is not square because it is very consistant with how the car turns and almost seems to have a bounce to it. But clearly I dont notice the noise at all and it does not bother me to an obsessive point... I am just wondering if it could be the dynamic bolsters in the seat making the noise or something....
