It is really apparent while at highway speeds. It can be hear even over the radio and is quite bothersome! I have read that this is caused by loose or bad attaching hardware holding some sound deadening panels under the car near the rear wheel. Does anyone have pics of this problem area and what did you do to correct it!

TIA
 






Had the same problem - it's common. It should be obvious if you look at the felt running front to back just by the doors which one it is. Here is my thread about the connector/spacer that was loose:

Spacer fix
 






Replace the offending plastic attachment with stainless M6 nuts and washers - just like the other locations that are attached with a nut. My attachments had no "spacer" involved. Crawl under the vehicle and rattle the shield -it was obvious which attachment point was loose.
