I have it too,kind of annoying, it sounds to me like it's coming from the exhaust system/catalitic converter.

Better have your trannies checked before it gets worse...basically, when your tranny starts making noise in reverse, it is a telltale sign that your tranny is about to give up on you...But rattling sound? maybe it's just your muffler due to vibrations

is it "ha-ha" funny, or "something smells funny" funny?

Can you compare it to other manual cars you have driven in reverse before?
There will always be a different noise when in reverse, compared to the smooth sound when in foward. Has to do something with the cut of the gear im told. |

I have an A/T. Since day one it has made a rattle in reverse. Very hard to describe. I was going to ask about it when I brought the car in for service but I did my own oil change so the car has not been in.
Glad to see that I am not the only one. Misery loves company |

Yep, same here.
There are posts all over the Web about this issue. Some threads relate this to the exhaust system. I'm having it checked out on Sunday.

I think this topic was brought up a long time ago. Not sure about the autos but my manual does make a "eeeeeerrrrhhhhh" sound when I back up really fast. People say it's normal and I havent had any problems with it. I have heard other cars with the same sound too so I really dont think it's such a big deal...

i have an 06 liftback, and had the same problem. i called toyota and they said that the "rattle" when in reverse was a common problem with the yaris, caused by a wire located close to the firewall that wasn't secured properly. hence when the car is in reverse this wire rattles against the firewall. i brought my yaris to the dealer and in 5 minutes they fixed the problem with no charge. that was over a year ago and i haven't heard the noise since. i'm not sure if your experiencing the same problem, but it can't hurt to check this avenue.

My 2007 LB Auto had those symptoms too....it's a flaw...there is a Toyota TSB for this flaw and the dealer will fix it for free.
Just had mine fixed a week ago, and now the weird noise in reverse is gone. I had expected better of Toyota, actually! |

Please see scanned Maintenance Service Record (only a part thereof is shown) to know about how my rattling problem has been solved. I hope this is the final answer to questions about rattling of this kind. However, if I still hear the noise tomorrow, I will report here again. I hope I will not have to.
