I've had a bit of a rattle inside and my passengers have been NO help in tracking it down. I have only taken my FR-S on the highway one time for about two miles, have not had it above about 62 mph indicated (has only around 600ish miles now). The rattle happens at various speeds.
I'm pretty sure I'll just have to live with it. With all the road destruction going on these days around here, finding smooth pavement is rare. One thing I did find early on was that the rear low mounted lighting assembly seemed fairly loose and rattly to the touch underneath the car, so I wedged in some adhesive damping pads. Not sure if that helped at all. |

Doesn't seem to happen under mild acceleration or when revving with the clutch out. Any clue what it is yet guys?

It's a pretty old thread but I thought I'd chime in. I had that flapping noise too. It only appeared at highway speeds at around 70mph cruising. It sounded like it was coming from the passenger side rear (perhaps near the wheel well). Turns out it was. It was the rear plastic covering for the wheel well. If you tap it you can hear it hitting the metal behind it. I just lifted it up a bit and put some double sided foam tape and the sound has gone away for now.......

Say no more... are you sure no one has left an intentional "gap" in the exhaust....

Between my exhaust, radio and tire noise I don't think I would know if I had a soft rattle if there was one.

I think people have forgotten that the underbody panels flap a little . There's a spot where two panels are secured by 1 fastener over seas. In the US there is only 1 panel there and it creates a small gap due to the absence of the second panel that small space flaps up and down at speed. Stick a washer in it and you are good to go no rattle
