Have had this regular rattle/ticking noise coming from behind me whilst driving. I would swear it comes from the area around the seatbelt B pillar mounts and have stripped the car with no luck.
It comes from both sides.
I found it today - its the headrests!! Although it sounds further away from them. Just a small amount of pressure on them cures it.
NOW FOR THE CREAKING SEAT

Wouldn't it be great if there was such a thing as a rattle detector. It would work in much the same way as a metal detector. I'd buy one
