Default Quick rattling noise from rear end

This rattling noise when going through bumpy roads has been bothering me a lot.I took to the dealer last week and they couldn't reproduce it.

It happens more in the morning or evening so maybe temp matters.It's from driver's side rear end, but pretty sure it's not roof top, just like something loose and shaking in trunk area, could be brake/ sway bar/ exhaust etc.Brake or throttle seems doesn't matter.


this is the video i recorded.Any one has any idea?

I've browsed the forum but since it's just text description so I couldn't judge whether it's brake or sway bar or latch etc, since these were all mentioned in the past

Did you take everything out of the trunk including the drivers side storage cubby? If not that, check the plastic cover for the fuse block in the trunk under the mats. Easy enough to check sways and brake cabling by looking under the rear. I went through all this when my car had a thunk in the rear as well, took time to sound insulate the rear end and also took the rear bumper off. Ended up bring the rear rotor internally separating, but it had more of a metallic thunk than the noise in your video. Good luck.
