Default Help me find a rattle please.

I finally returned my exhaust to stock, the previous owner liked straight pipes, I like not getting pulled over... for being loud. Anyways, now I can hear some stuff in the car, its a 97, its going to make noise. However, there is a particular odd, loud nose coming from what appears to be behind the drivers side rear speaker (in luggage area). I figure it could be anything from a bad shock to something hitting. It only occurs over 30 mph and seems to get louder with speed. It's like it comes from the fuel filling pipe almost. I really have no idea, its like its behind the speaker and is loud.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

How about having someone ride in the car with you so they can listen while you drive?

I had my friend ride and push on the speaker and such. Definately coming from that area. He was unsure of the source as well. I will probalby have someone from the stealership do a ride along Monday and see what their guess is, I was just hoping someone else "had the same thing and...".

Thanks,

ok, so remove the panel and see whats rattling. Could be the speaker....keyless entry/tpms receiver, etc. Either way, you have do some investigation.
