Default Metal rattle behind the seat

Hi all!

I have MY2017 coupe with 2000 km (1300 miles) on the clock. I love this car, BUT I have a very annoying rattle behind the drivers seat. It sounds like one metal thing kicks on another one (also metal or even glass). It is definitely not the plastic vibrations!
I read a few threads in the forum, but could not found the issue, like mine ((

Maybe someone have or bette had something like this? If yes, I'd appreciate any advise from you, guys!

Thanks in advance!!!
PS
And sorry for my English )))

I had kind of a ticking sound behind my left ear when going over bumps or rough pavement but oddly it has gone away, only to replaced with a louder sound on the opposite side of the car.


There was a poster here who documented something similar and took a recording. Originally thought to originate from the seatbelt housing but his dealer traced it to the B pillar structure.


I'm taking mine in to have my passenger side rattle explored in 2 weeks.

I have had a few of these and pretty sure I have not nailed them all but some seem to come and go. But one I have definitely nailed and is the easiest fix, if you have the performance seats there is a small strap that holds the seatbelt against the seat at the top over your shoulder it has a metal snap connector and if this comes undone the metal snaps clatter against each other.
