Is it in the trunk or the backseat?
My cargo net and trunk cover make a lot of noise...

Possibly the rear hatch rattle that has bothered us all at one time or another... try a smear of vasoline on the rubber stops for the upper hatch. (left and right sides)

I agree, you're probably hearing the now famous rear hatch rattle.

What I did to fix mine, is get two of the 3/4" round felt discs (like the ones that you put on the bottom of chair legs to keep them from scratching the floor). They are self-adhesive, most department stores sell them in the hardware section.

Put one self-adhesive felt disc on each of the rubber "stoppers" on your rear hatch - the rubber stopper that attaches to the body. If this is the cause of your hatch rattle, it will be gone instantly. If not, then you'll need to keep searching for the cause. But I'd say at least 50% of us have had the hatch rattle - maybe more - and the felt discs definitely cure it.

and maybe trunk privacy shade. mine does make a little bit rattling sound sometimes. take it off car and see if sound is still there.
