Anyone else hearing a rattle in the driver's side front door?

I used the same "golf clubs" description when I had my rear rattle addressed. For me, it wasn't the spare tyre assembly at all. It was a faulty strut. Have your dealer swap the rear struts to see if the noise moves from the left side to the right side (or vice versa). If it is, then it is the strut making the golf-clubs sounding noise.

I just made a little adjustment today: Took off the tape covering the metal strip at the bottom of the door frame.
The popping sound I hear when I poke at the tape is very similar to the popping sound I hear when going over bumps. It also sounds fairly similar to the buzzing that I hear at times.
I've been reluctant to take off the tape for the past 13 months, but I'm giving in. By the way, that metal strip is very tastefully done.
I'll post results tomorrow to see if there's any improvement.

Update on rattles: Removing the tape seems to have helped slightly. The rattles are still there, but there is less of it.
Something I noticed was that the longer that you drive the car (as in continuously driving it), the less rattles there are. If I drive for about 20-30 miles straight within a short amount of time, most rattles disappear.
