Passenger seat rattle over bumps

2019 limited.
When going over lightbumps, rr tracks it rattles. Not a tingy plastic, more heavy. If you hit back of seat with your hand it will simulate it.

My drivers seat used to do something like that if I had it all the way back. Now I just blip the button forward for .01 of a second and it stopped it. Was the most annoying thing ever until I figured it out. The seat just wouldn't stop creaking.

I have the same issue in my '22 ORP..... and quite honestly it bothers me more that the standard issue "slight steering wheel shake".

The seat has just enough play to allow it to vacillate and create a light rattle.

I'm removing both seats sometime in the next couple months in order to do an audio system install and intend to investigate the issue then. Hoping that the seat's design allows tightening of the pivot or at least shimming of the recline mechanism to eliminate the play between detents in the recline.

For what it's worth, our 2013 Venza limited also did this, but was even worse. I was unable to find a solution with it....

Is there visible movement of your seatback that coincides with the sound?

If I pull in the head rest side closest to driver, amd then pull, I can feel it come up. If its all the way fwd or back it wont come up.
