Anyone else's rear shelf rattle?

Recently have had what sounds like the rear shelf rattle in my car. Any one else have this problem and those that did, what was it?

Basic rattle in conjunction with road travel and/or engine RPM or is the rattle from the result of bass input from the stereo? If bass input, then yes...lots of us have it. If from road travel, then not here with mine. I get a small rattle up front in the dash sometimes and that's it.

Yes, for the bass rattle on the rear shelf. Very rarely I hear it over rough pavement.

However, I am at my wits end with the rattles under the dash!! This car sounds like a 150k mile Chevy cavalier.

I'm about to trade in this car over these rattles.

I was able to get this resolved.

Dealer replaced the entire rear deck, claiming it was "warped".

Concerning a car under 1 year of age could have a warped part.

It's not been back since they replaced. The downside is now my back window is fogging up all over again daily from the plastic gassing.

I found my rattle problem under the dash. it was a hanging input wire, taped it against a panel so it wouldn't rattle against the plastic.

It's in conjunction with road travel. As someone who's used to higher end vehicles, it's driving me insane

My car rattles from the driver side sun visor for some reason. If I press it against the roof it stops, if I let go it comes back.
But even with the low volume music you won't hear a thing.

Needs more details. Have you had someone else drive the car and sat in the back to be sure it's actually the rear shelf? I had some rattle that sounded like rear shelf from front seat but wasn't. I don't have the touring but in conjunction with certain music (e.g. first 3 seconds of Katy Perry's song Rise), and occasionally without music, I did hear a real rear shelf rattle eventually. I used the sorbothane fix detailed here (except for my non-touring car I needed 1'' instead of 1/2'' as he said, see also other comments). However this depends on your issue coming from the same spot.

This is a known problem with the Touring model, although not officially acknowledged by Honda. The sub woofer creates vibration in the rear deck that causes the window brake light to rattle. To alleviate the problem you can either turn the sub woofer completely down in the audio settings, or you can secure the brake light. You will notice that if you apply some pressure to the brake light from within the trunk (just behind sub woofer) that the rattling stops. I put a piece of rubber (about 1/2 inch thick) in between the brake light and the metal atop the trunk. This serves as a brace to prevent the brake light from rattling.
