I too hear these rattles.
Tuned1M maybe this is the same noise. I first thought it was the rear passenger seatbelt vibrating and making this noise.

After driving with a friend with a VERY keen ear, I found the source and a fix.
Warning... ghetto fix.
The vibrations are coming from somewhere under the sidepanels located near the rear seats. My friend simply took two napkins folded in half and stuffed them where the rear seat meets the wall. Ta Dah! vibrations gone.
Try and find the sweet spot, i found in mine its approx 5 inches from the front of rearseats where they touch the panel.

Now the car is vibration free. Even tested with bass turned to 100%
