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..

EDIT: Soundlclip link.
My car does the same or similar thing. It all started after I installed the Koni adjustable shocks. I've had it up on the lift several times checking the bolts and suspension pieces, but all is tight and as it should be. I have no idea what it is although I've heard others report this after installing Konis as well. Yours sounds a bit louder, did you ensure the shock isolators (rubbers on the shock tops) were on before install?
