Thanks for the reply! I actually have owned the car for 9 months now and the sound was happening since day 1.
I figured it's new to this forum because I searched a lot and didn't see a relevant issue...
Sound comes from outside the car and you can hear it when Windows are down.
Dealer spent several weeks inspecting and diagnosing but they eventually pin pointed it to parking brake. It feels like the e-brake shoes are loose type of rattle but they were tight and related near by parts..
Yes the sound goes away if you pull the handbrake slightly..
They say tightening the wire is not a proper solution so they keep trying things but I've lost hope..
Rattle is very specific to when you go over wide enough road cracks or harsh imperfections.. manholes or minor road two-level cracks are easiest way to repro. It's a very audible, "firm" metallic sound.
Thanks

As far as I recollect, the parking brake rattling, is a new rattle in the FR-S/BRZ, to me at least.
Where is the sound coming from (inside of the car or outside of the car?)
Maybe the rattle is coming from something else (like a shield under the car) and the parking brake is getting the rap?
So, if you are driving down the road and the rattle starts and you gently lift up on the emergency brake handle .. the rattle stops?
Come back.
