I have been driving my car on the highway recently and have noticed a rather loud metallic rattle/buzzing noise coming from the back of the car when I hit 65mph. It doesn't seem to be linked to rpm as it occurs only in 4th gear at about 3500rpm. It occurs a bit past that RPM as well.
The sound is a sharp metallic buzzing. It makes me think of two pieces of sheet metal rubbing against one another. Kind of like if you didn't screw down the license plate correctly.
I though it may have been some loose trim but I secured that and it still makes the noise. I've gone over the back of the car making sure anything that could rattle is secured.
I noticed some play in my trunk latch. Although I don't think that should cause such a noise.
Maybe the exhaust? Although I haven't noticed any leaks and it isn't rubbing the undercarriage.
Has anyone encountered a similar noise? Any ideas on what I could check?
