Sway bars and everything under the car is tight as can be.

You can only hear it on bumpy roads or bumps that "jar" the car. Pushing up and down on the car will not cause the noise. It can't be heard from outside the car either.

I know that it isnt the hatch because I drove up and down my street with the hatch open and it still rattles (and Ive already tried the electric tape and no difference).

It really sounds like its coming from the rear bumper, but I have no idea what could be in there.

Any ideas? I have a soundclip on the way too..
Could be where the seat belt covers are there is only one screw and a clip that holds that together if it gets loose you will hear a rattle. There is not much behind the rear panel in the hatch, but outside you might want to check the heat shield for the muffler
