What's this noise from my car

    Hey guys,

    This stated happening a week or so ago. Shen it started, it only used to happen when I was coming off the Naas slip to N7 [as per Video]. It's now happening on straights at varying speeds. It's definitely coming from the back of the car. It's an MR2, so the engine is in the back too. The exhaust pipe doesn't seem loose either but I only checked the visible end. I didn't go under the car.

    You can hear the "rattle" at 14 seconds and 31 seconds. Ignore the loud noise at about 20 seconds. That's just me opening the windows to see if it could be better heard. It couldn't :)

    The phone seems to amplify the engine roar. It doesn't seem that loud to me.

    Edit : I'll wait a bit. I only uploaded it minutes ago. YT is prolly still processing it. It's only about 40 seconds long, though.
    I'll check it again after 10.

    Can take up to half an hour for a youtube vid to go live. Have you just uploaded it there now?

    Sorry - I listened / watched the vid but can only hear the road noise.

    I'll try make a better recording later. I suppose it's more of a ticking sound than a rattle. Like having a piece of cardboard stuck in the spokes of your bike wheel.

    Video clip is useless!! Maybe a better description of when the rattle occurs would have been better, e.g. when going over slight bumps etc. I wonder if it's the anti-roll bar bushings or worn drop links...

    It used to be only when taking long left turns, like the long left turn in the vid, leaving Naas northbound. Now it really is random, or appears to be. It can happen on idle, on fast straight, slow straight or other. Then again, it may not happen at all those times.

    It's probably just a panel or something come loose, have a look under the car and around the engine for anything that might have a bolt missing
