I'm getting a sound similar to that only on rough pavement. Seems like it is coming from the right rear on my car. Drives me nuts! I get under the car and can't find anything loose. It is not suspension, but it sounds like something loose knocking around as the sound constantly repeats on a rough road. But when I hit a bump, it doesn't make the noise only when the road flexes the car back and forth do I hear it.

Agreed..used to have an expensive aluminum mountain bike, when you leaned into the pedal man would that thing creak!
Noisy vettes, cant break tradition! The more advanced cars get the more you seem to hear as some can be awful quiet inside.

Any performance work done on it?
Try the flex plate the cover's the exhaust cross over pipe to see if the bolt's are tightened to spec's

Thinking maybe something swaybar related? Bushings/endlinks? I don't know. Car literally went out of 3/36k warranty 9 days ago.



Have you ever located the source? Having the same issue
