2) This is where i think the noise is really coming from: the rear right airbag. I removed the plastic cover for the rear airbag and gently tapped the rolled up bag. When i tapped the bag, I could hear the annoying vibration noise that has been driving me mad. I put a tiny piece of cloth around one of the metal hooks that attach the airbag to the steel chassis to dampen the noise. I put everything back together and the noise seems to be gone!

If people have been having issues with this rear deck noise and the tricks in the thread do not seem to work, I would suggest looking at the rear passenger side airbag.
Any chance you could do a little DIY on how to check for this?
