Need more details than that, it could be any number of things. Describe it in more detail, as in when does it rattle, what does it sound like, what types of movement or idle cause the rattle, etc

From the back, could be your muffler/exhaust rattling? Otherwise, it might be a strut, but that would most likely be more when you are hitting bumps.

It must be either a loose bolt in your catalytic conv. or your exhaust is loose. I doubt any rattling would come from your struts.

is it a metal on metal rattle or is is more of a plastic on plastic. so you have aftermarket exhaust or stock. what do you have in your trunk.

could be something like a heatshield rattling from exhaust vibration, or something in your trunk rolling around. maybe your jack isnt tightend down good or something laying on top of your spare rattling.
