Soution: Drive faster!

One common cause for noise from the rear end is rattling heat shields above the muffler. Check the achieves for details

Could you discribe the noise in greater detail?

-light sheet metal tapping noise?
-heavy chatter over road bumps?

Could be a worn tracking arm as they do go out on older boxsters, or a wheel bearing that is compressed a little more when going over a speed bump.
