Annoying Noise / Rattle

When accelerating from dead stop, I hear like a one time rattle, or noise. While inside the car you hear it from the right rear somewhere around the wheel area / rear quarter panel (fuel tank) area. I suspect its something with either breaks, or some sort of fuel pump / clamp hitting against the metal.
Noise is not too loud if radio is on, but enough to annoy the s88t out of me. Again best I can describe the sound is almost like taking a cable and hitting it against a panel of the car.
Any thoughts, or similar experiences. I will most likely get her checked out.

Sure its not your passenger side seat belt? Sometimes it gets loose and rattles against the door, happened to me, drove me nuts. I just readjusted it and problem solved. Give it a try, hopefully that's all it is. Good luck.

You might be right, I have to check it out further. I did mess around with the rear passenger after someone sat there for the firs time ever. It is surely annoying...

However, digging through the TSB's further, this sounds like something I would be describing:

Does the noise sound like a metal to metal rattling? My G is making a metal to metal rattling noise and I've taken it to the dealer numerous times. They keep saying that it's the seatbelt hitting against the side and that I just need to secure it. But, the noise is constantly irritating me. It either sounds like something is wrong with the passenger side speaker and the rear passenger speaker. I'm in the same shoes as you. I'm actually thinking about getting rid of the car because of this.

Best I can describe the sound, is like a rubber wire smacked against a body panel. It is more of a one time snap from accelerating, than a constant rattle. As per suggestions above, I also suspect it maybe the seatbelt. It does not happen every time, but enough to annoy the s88t out of me. Again happens only mainly from dead stop onwards.

I wonder if will secure the seatbelt, by improvising as someone sitting in a back, the noise will go away. Might check out...

Did the dealership tell you the seatbelt on the inside or outside? meaning inside the pannel ?
