Glad to hear you may have sorted out the problem. These are sources or rattles in the back I have found:

Bad cat, like others have mentioned

Baffle loose in the muffler

Heat shield buzzing against the frame

If you have a chrome tip on your exhaust and have gone over a curb and kissed the curb, it can bend the chrome muffler tip so that it almost touches the metal under it, and it will buzz. I suspect this last one is just for 2.7L boxsters with the single muffler exhaust with the chrome tip.

Have fun,

Ed
