Default Buzz vibration at low rumble...anyone?

Alright...this forum has to know!!

My car...both before and after the Corsa's...when idling and just slowly accelerating has this sound like a piece of tin vibrating coming from the hatch area.

Around 900 to 1200 RPM.

I finally have a garage, ramps, jack, etc...and backed her up last week looking for my source of vibration...couldn't find a thing that could even cause it underneath!

Dropped the spare, looked and felt around...didn't see a thing!

There has to be someone else that has experienced this and has far more patience than I had!

Thanks in advance!

My Jeep was doing the same and driving me crazy because I could not see anything loose or find anything that wiggled. I finally has someone rev it until it buzzed and I crawled underneath andkept touching things until I found the little offender, a little aluminum shield around the fuel pump. Tightened up the screws and found a little sanity. :p:

Thanks for the thoughts...I was hoping someone already went through this and fixed the problem.

I'm sure the cars rattle and squeak in the same place.
