Do you mean from music or from bumps in the road?

Put in a bass test cd and crank it to the level u normaly listen to then with the music playing go arround and press on pannels till the rattle stops. Once u find out where the rattle is u can either tighten the fastners down to make it stop or add padding / etc to keep the parts from ratteling. I use to have this problem on my old car took me about a week to find all the rattles / buzzes and kill em .

Trunk latch is a bit adjustable. Mine stopped after i adjusted it, but started again after the accident.

Both my S14's have had the truck rattle. I just took a window sticker and shoved it over the bottom part of the latch. Took away every bit of the rattle.

I get the same rattle from my s13 hatch. Pretty annoying, haven't been able to figure out what it is though.

I had trunk rattle. I just adjusted the trunk latch and got some new rubber stoppers for the trunk and it was gone.
