Clinking Sound from back, Help!

[Land570Cruiser]

Greetings, I have a 2011 LX570 with almost 150k on it. I have had it for about 5 years and I have always heard this clinking sound coming from the back seat area. It sounds like seat belt buckes clacking against each other, but it is not the seat belts as I have had 8 people in the vehicle all buckled up and could still hear the sound. I have taken everything out, and could still hear it.

Wondering if anyone else has experienced the same and/or if anyone could provide a solution to this. Thanks in advance!

Maybe make sure the jack is firmly attached in its cradle with the supplied bungy, and that the factory tools are firmly locked into the molded spots in the box in the hatch?

Another thing to check is that the spare tire is tight against the frame. I had to give mine an extra crank recently to stop it from rattling over bumps.

I would check and see if the rear a/c is working as it should. It could be the a/c turning on and off.

Could it be the third row seat?

Checked all of that and it is still clicking. Thank you for the advice though!

Just had the A/C serviced recently. It's been doing it for about 5 years.

I made sure it's tight, thank you!

My second row seat made a noise over bumps at low speeds.
Super annoying.

Was able to remedy by stuffing sound deafening foam under the seat.


No issues since.
