Rattling Noise Can't Be Determined

No more cats since I have art pipes, and the license plate rattle was resolved with some sticky foam pieces cushioned between the plate and rear bumper.

Thanks. At this point, I am willing to try just about anything to solve the issue.

This video is his follow up that solved my issue. https://youtu.be/4NYFhM7Xl4A

It's the trunk latch actuator that has plastic gears in it where the grease has worn away and they chatter like crazy. I had rattles even above 3-4k and it solved it for everything except 3500-4000RPM. So next I'm looking at the license plate / spare tire area for loose bolts and rubbing plastic on metal.

There's also mention of the trunk latch being loose / up too far (which you can tighten up / move around when you grease the trunk actuator).
