some suggestions

1)If you can get under it check the rubber bushings on the suspension. Any movement? One guy said; "rear sway bar end links, R & L sides. Picked it up today and it's quiet, so hope it'll be a long term fix.
2) Sometimes my passenger seat belt hits the door jam and sound travels. I pull it out slightly and issues fixed.
3) Possibly some or one nut came loose from the soft top bows and is rolling around in the well where it resides when down
4) Check your lug nuts
5) Sometimes the hardtop will rattle and a strip around and under it helps
6) Another guy said "The sway bar however was somehow contacting or wearing on his brake line. The Service Manager informed him he thought that ALL the birds would be subject to the same problem. The wear contact point, he said, was not evident with the car jacked up. It had to be on the wheels to see the absence of the clearance"
