Carrera 997.2 noise from rear on bumps
Hi everyone. I took delivery of my first 911 3 months ago and am basically very happy with it.
One issue I have is a noise from the rear on certain sharper bumps.
The bumps I am talking about can occur on normal suburban streets so not anything too drastic.
It is a low frequency metallic sounding noise which lasts only during and just after the bump.
I cant imagine a damper problem or suspension bottoming as the car has only done 3000k since new.
Has anyone had a similar experience or do you have any ideas?

Maybe - but very difficult to pinpoint for me. I tried with the spoiler up but that made no difference.

I agree - just wanted to see how common this issue is.
Do most owners have a perfectly quiet rear end? (the car I mean!)

I even tried driving around (at night) with the engine lid up and have some suspicions it may be that.
So a few guys already have some noise issues at the back.
Any others with ideas?

I have exactly the same issue. When I took it in last week, the dealer could not hear the sound. I am going to bring it in this week and actually ride with the tech, who had left before I picked up the car.
I originally thought the back seat was loose, but the sound seems to be coming from underneath the back deck below the window.

Maybe the rattle/noise is related to this?

I believe that mine does this as well but it takes a decent size bump or pot hole to make it happen. I also have a slight squeak in the dash on warmer days. After owning other brands of sports cars for many years things like this don't bother me any longer. It's pretty much the nature of the beast when you have a stiff suspension like so many sports cars have.
Easy fix: Avoid going over bumps (as much as possible) and turn the radio up louder to mask the noise.

I get that noise as well in my 997.2. This is my first 911 and I just assumed it was a byproduct of a rear engined car with stiff suspension?
Curious to see if anyone gets it diagnosed.
