Default Chatter comming from rear of car when stopped?

ok fellas need some help, sometimes when i come to a complete stop after a few seconds i hear a "chatter" sound thats coming from the passenger rear sounds like by the tire. it only does it sometime at a certain RPM, like around 1k

it does it for a few seconds and stops and its pretty loud. Im trying to describe it the best I can im going to make a video tomorrow to show exactly what im talking about

just seeing if this is a common problem and someone knows what the hell im trying to explain.

Tighten your spare tire to the body of the car. Could also be loose antenna mount screws.

Tell the kids to shut up and get out of the car.

Seriously though, if it's RPM dependent, then it's gotta be coming through the exhaust or from it touching something. That is, unless your cam is violently shaking the whole chassis at idle. Sometimes the rear hatch or even the upper rear shock mounts squeak, though usually not at a stop but rather over speed bumps and the like. Video would help. See if you can trace the source or at least rule out the exhaust on that side.

i'm voting exhaust. try getting under it and shaking the exhaust around and see if it's hitting anything.
