To me by the sounds you described it sounds like your car is pinging. As in the air/fuel in your cylinders, is combusting before it should. This could be from too much timing, bad gas, not high enough octane, car running hot, just it being very warm outside in general and so on and so on. This is not good and needs to be fixed soon if it is in fact the problem. Now obviously this would not be coming from the rear but then again driving down the road listening to noise is not the easiest to trace to the point of origin. When this happens are you giving it decent throttle or is the engine under load like its going up a hill? Or is it just when you are cruising?</blockquote>
