Volvo S60 Hollow noise coming from rear end???

Sounds like parcel shelf or something similar making a hollow rattling noise over bumps - even slight ones.

Took it to the main dealer - technician and his boss took for test drive and up on ramp and said it is something that can happen inside the silencer. Car only 3 years old and silencer is excellent condition and they said choice is to live with it or have a new silencer for £500. I feel very disappointed as the noise gets on your nerves. Is it really what they say it is and can't anything be done about it.

Had a similar problem with my 01 S60 (about 58K miles) - it was rear suspension bushings.

If it is in the silencer (muffler in 'merican) you should be able to reproduce the rattle why grabbing and giving it a good shake. Unfortunately if this is the problem Volvo will probable not be helpful about fixing it at their cost. Obviously a muffler which fails in 3 years is poorly made, but often Volvo's attitude seems to be Tough Luck.

Hmmm, wonder why I have been buying Honda/Acura products lately ?

rear suspension bushings on my 2001 S60 were replaced at about 30k miles.

Thanks for all the tips and car going in tomorrow, to small garage, where coincidently the owner has always run this model. I will report back on the outcome.
