Open the trunk and look at the underneath side of the deck. I took a foam ear plug and squashed it down and fit it into the hole that is directly below the transmitter unit (see the pic). Actually, I wedged 1 1/2 plugs in there and it has since stopped the buzz. Also, to check even if you have this buzz, I was able to tap on the area of the hole prior to placing the plug in it and get the transmitter to buzz.

As I did this today, I'm not sure if it will be a long-term fix, but should hold me over until I have to readdress it.
This looks to be a great quick fix. I also pondered if someone could attempt to tighten the bolt from the bottom without messing up the threads.

If you hear any more rattle, try shoving a plug in the hole next to the bolt. I found that the little piece of metal sticking through the deck was a major part of the rattle in my car.
