0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Suspected cause
The spoiler is bolted down under pressure from two large spring clips and I would suspect the frequency rattle comes from these or the spolier being slightly loose.
Leading evidence: 'frequency rattle comes' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'frequency rattle comes' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Check diy section' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suggestion
Forgot to add, if the actual 3rd brake light is loose and rattling, then you will need to remove the spoiler and tighten the two retainer screws underneath.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi All,
Last couple of times I've had the car out it has developed an annoying buzz coming from the rear somewhere. You only hear it as certain revs, or sometimes with certain bass notes at reasonable volume on the stereo.
I've been in the back and taps a few bits, especially speaker grills etc, but everything seems solid. But then I hit the top of the rear glass, and can hear a bit of a rattle.
It looks lile the spoiler/third brake light holder is slightly loose, and might be the culprit. Can someone with a 993 (an no noise!) give their brake light holder a bit of a tap and see if it sounds a bit loose/rattly?
Any ideas how the spoiler bit is held on? No obvious signs. I had a look in through the zip inside, but there are extra panels to remove to see anything and I've not done that yet.

Hi Colin,
I don't suffer from a rattle, so I've just tapped my brake light for you to see what happens. The "brake light holder" itself is very tight and doesn't have any movement, but if I tap the brake light directly then its is slightly loose.
Sorry, I can't be of more help!
Cheers

Hi Colin,
The 3rd brake light / spoiler is bolted onto two studs glued to the rear screen. You can access these by gently prizeing off the painted spolier (held on with about twenty springs clips), which will then reveal the spolier and the two retainer nuts (13mm from memory). The spoiler is bolted down under pressure from two large spring clips and I would suspect the frequency rattle comes from these or the spolier being slightly loose. Check the diy section on p-car.com for more information.

Forgot to add, if the actual 3rd brake light is loose and rattling, then you will need to remove the spoiler and tighten the two retainer screws underneath. All-in-all should take no more than ten minutes. Brake light strip is £96 and only availble from OPC so be careful!
