I started to notice I have rattle noise last week when I have my back seats folded down. At first I thought it was the radio that is giving this "buzz" noise. So I turn it off and notice it comes from the rear. I found it whenever I'm around 3000rpm, the noise happens. I also tried folded the seats back up on the rear and it's not as apparent but it's still there. I hope it's not related to mechanical issue.

Here's some info on my car:
- I've done more than 1000 miles
- The rattling (or "buzzing") only happens around 3000rpm. I haven't really gone above 2500rpm during my break-in so only noticing now that I rev pass or around 3000rpm.
- Radio is off
- Rev limiter set to 3500rpm and buzzer is set to off
- Noise comes from the rear (I'm driving when it happens so not sure exactly where in the back of the car)

Any ideas?
I have many of the noises coming from the rear covered in my thread (in my sig).
Yours might be THIS ISSUE and there is a QUICK FIX for it.
I hope this fixes your noise.
