Have you had the pass thru open and caught a seat belt in it. Could also be one of the outer seat belts caught between door and seat.

I have at times heard a rattle sounds like the seat, G8 did the same thing. Only thing that squeaks though are the brakes when they are dirty. ?

Did they get all the shipping spacers out of the springs? You hear it more with the windows down? What speeds? Bumps?

Your only option is to just bring it to the dealer. Unless you can get someone to listen closely to try to narrow down there it is.

You could then jack the car up and try to visually see if anything is wrong in that area.

But you might as well bring it to the dealer.

ok so i narrowed it down to the rt rear suspension area.. i guess i will have to bring it in soon since it's annoying as **** ..
If you live in Houston I'd love to check it in to my dealership and fix it for ya, but I imagine you're not.

If you can get underneath the car I would apply generous amounts of silicon spray onto the upper and lower spring seats and the stabilizer bar bushings and go for a ride. If that does not help, I would proceed to douze all control arm bushings - in steps, and go for a ride in between to help pin-point the problem area. It may not solve it long term but will buy you some piece of mind for a while and hopefully guide you to the source.
NVH stuff can be obnoxious but also interesting if you have a detective spirit...

Not to take away from @CB750's role here, but which is it, squeak or rattle?? They are very different and are caused by different sources. Squeak is when things are rubbing against each other. Rattle is when things are loose and knocking against each other.

Not too much help but a story about my 2010 camaro involving a rattle in the rear suspension: (wouldnt usually write this but i got nothing to do )

took my then, 6 month old car in to get serviced because of a rattle in rear suspension. I went in to pick it up and they did a service bulletin For a spring isolator and said that fixed the problem. I made it 1/2 mile from the dealer and hit a bump and there it was again. Rattle rattle when i hit a little pothole or slight bump. Soo back to the dealer 3 minutes after i left

I walk into the service writers area and kinda lose my sh!t.
He says “what you want me to do”
Me “i dont know make my brand new car not sound like a giant pile of sh!t”

so once again leave it with them, two days later i find a ride to the dealer and walk in expecting nothing. He slams the paperwork down on the desk and points to something taped to the paperwork

it was a piece of 2b limestone, gravel what ever you want to call it in different areas. it Must have flung of my tire in my shop parking lot and landed in the hollow lower control arm.
And they didn't even charge me for the service call.
