Thanks Dave
98 V70T5, the rattle is in the rear of the drivers side, it sounds alsmost like a weld is broken from a heat shieled or catalytic convertor, A tinny shimmering.

The rear seat backrest latches ... fold down the backrest and spray the latches with white lithium grease. Try that and see if that helps.

Dave the tinny rattle sound is coming from the rear exterior, somewhat underneath the rear half of the car, rear tail area predominately.
