Resonance/vibration at specific speed/revs from back seat area

[Kylemacca01]

I am experiencing an odd vibration in the car at almost bang on 2k rpm but only in 6th, never noticed it in any other gear, but maybe just as its not a cruising rpm in any other gear.

Sounds like its coming from the back seat area, it might be related to the child seat in the car but not sure, will remove that and try to recreate it.

Its not loud at all but the inside is pretty rattle free generally so its a little annoying.

Anyone experienced similar and have any ideas?

There’s a plastic cover on the seatbelt top clip(?) in the back, that loves to rattle on mine

i’m sure i’ve read reports of the seat hinges causing noises too.
Some have had success with wd40 on the hinges, may be worth trying that

Took the seat out and it got rid of it, so its something rattling in the car seat, which is a bit annoying but im less bothered.

Always nice when you know what that phantom noise is!
