Yup! Same damn issue, but mine comes from behind me on the driver side almost as though there's a piece of aluminum rattling in the damn quarter panel in the back...
Oh and then there's that bang that sounds like somebody shot my rear quarter panel with a shotgun whenever I hit rough pavement.
Then again mine is a convertible so I'm assuming I am subject to all types of rattling and shit based upon the fact that my roof folds and goes into the trunk.
When the top is down I can't hear any of of it anyway...meh.
