Default What can that noise be?

I have a 99 Camaro Z28. Every time i step on it, you can feel a popping noise coming from under the rear seat. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

What did you have to eat? j/k Did you look under the car at the area where the noise is coming from? Is it a rapid popping sound? Does it sound like exhaust? Something hitting something? Tell us a little more if you can.

Could one of the bolts holding the LCAs in place be loose?
