Something's LOOSE!

I was driving my car yesterday and as I accelarated I hear something that sounds like a ball bearing rolling around in the back. So I get out and make sure everything is secure including the spare tire. Everything seems tight so I thought I was just hearing things. But when I gassed it again the rolling sound was back. It seems to be coming from the rear deck but I'm not sure. Please help cuz the sound is annoying me. What else should I check to see if its all tight back there. Thanks guys.

Take out the lower seat cushion for the back seat and look for "extra" parts. I had a sheet metal screw rolling around on the metal floor pan under the seat. It wasn't a loud noise but it bugged me whenever driving around town (starts/stops/cornering). Also might want to take the spare tire out and check under it. Pull up the carpet in the trunk and look in the corners. If you have a spoiler there might be some hardware that fell off and is trapped in the sheet metal of the trunk lid.
