What am I hearing when I reverse?

Everyone now and then when I am reversing out of my drive way or parking spot, it sounds like a glass bottle bumping around on the road. What is this noise?

And no, I am not hitting a glass bottle and no I don't have one tied to the back of my car.

Well at least I know its normal as it seems since so many people are hearing the same thing.

At first I thought something was hitting underneath as I backed out of my driveway, but then I started noticing it sometimes backing out of parking spaces.

Ill probably ask the dealer about it next time I am in just for the hell o fit.

I think I have heard somehting also, to me it sounds mechanical, like a solenoid or other auto-mechanical switch. If you listen carefully you'll hear a lot going on in this car. None of it has sounded wrong to me.

maybe you have run over Mr Glass (from unbreakable) and he is stuck and can't get out...
