An old friend of mine calls it hatch rattle.He has had about 20 stangs and complains about every hatch he has ever owned.You might be able to rig something up to quiet it some but im not sure.

i wonder what?but whats odd is my dads lx hatch don't make a sound.
mine when you open the hatch it sounds like one of those haunted houses that has those old
creeky doors...........trust me i spray the crap out of it every chance i get.
mine is really noticable when you up an inclined hill sideways.

I will try to get ahold of my buddy and see if he ever figured anything out with his.

SUBFRAME CONNECTORS. They'll stiffen up the chassis to prevent groans and squeeks, plus let it handle better.
