I've heard a buzzing rattle from the rear deck area a couple times. It's speed specific for me and occured a certain speeds. Have not been able to reproduce it and I'm not sure it wasn't some stuff I had in the cargo net rattling around.

On my 07 I have noticed a rattle that seems to be coming from the passanger rear door or left side of the read deck Im not sure. The sad thing is that is only 1 of the 4 rattle/strange sounds I have.

Zero rattles at all on mine... maybe I'm going deaf.

It is rock solid and almost too quiet.
Get those puppies back to the dealer and have them fix 'em!

I too have a rattle coming from, best I can tell, the rear driver’s side C-pillar. It is noticeable from the front and very noticeable from the rear seats. At first, I thought it was the grab handle over the rear door, but I had someone hang on to it while driving with no success. In addition, I have an annoying little rattle from the passenger’s side A-pillar. I have not taken these into the dealer yet for fear that my G will be the guinea pig. Please keep us posted if you learn more!

I can say this, the loose rubber trim on the sunroof rattling sounded like it was coming from the back seat. Took me a while to figure it it was coming from over my head. Sounds bounce around in cars and can sound like they care coming from somewhere they are not.

I get rattling in the back of the car sometimes. But i traced it to ice and snow being on the car. It only happens when there is snow or on it. If you live in warm climate then disregard this reason. But thats what i traced my problem too.

^^ Did you ever find the source of this rattle? I climbed in the back while the car was being driven and couldn't seem to locate the rattle, almost like it's coming from all around me, quite frustrating. All cars rattle so I don't mind fixing a few rattles, IF you can find them.

I took my car into the dealer and they found the problem in the rear deck. It was a loose screw. I don't have the work order with me so I don't know the exact one, but they tightened it and the rattling is gone! good luck
