Noise source
To be more specific on the noise, in case yours is similar, please see below:
1. Noise sounds like lose part rattling.
2. Noise only comes on above 40mph and gone at 70mph
3. From cabin, Noise appears to come from behind driver seat and near rear door of driver side. (But in reality it was under the car as the dealer found out)

I noticed a slight rattle in my passenger side this morning. It only occurs when hitting bumps. I'll have to have my wife take a look when I'm driving and see if she can pin point it.
Hopefully its not a big deal and I can just "push" the body panel in the right way to fix it.

im pretty sure it is not the turbo. i test drove another NX F sport, it doesnt make the same sound, and that sound occurs with or without the turbo kicks in.

I have had a pretty irritating squeak that made me think I was losing it at times. First it sounded like it was the Nav Screen area squeaking, then if you turned your head the right way it sounded like it was coming from the Left Rear Passenger Door. Then if you turned and looked straight back, it sounded like the rear hatch...
Turned out to be the Backseat Center Pull Down Arm Rest w/Cup Holders that was squeaking .... it was a leather-on-leather squeak i guess (or whatever you call it - pleather-on-pleather).... thank gawd I found that one.

After a couple months of trying to find it, this weekend just a DOWN and BACK UP fixed it (open and close the arm rest in the center of the back seat). I am guessing it will come back though based on it sounding like a leather-on-leather kinda squeak.
Very glad to know where it is coming from. 4600 miles on it now - will go in for 5K checkup soon, and will mention it.

I don't have this noise. Consider checking the license plate or loose mud flap (if equipped?) With some wind turbulence generated at the back at higher speed, it could be the contributing factor. For the plate, as a best practice even if it's not the issue, consider sticking on rubber/felt tape behind the plate to absorb any minor impacts (and noises) to the rear hatch.
