2001 Forester, between 63 and 70 mph, let off the gas slightly, then give it just a little gas and there is an intermittent "rattle" sound in back. Give it too much gas or let off too much and you don't hear it. I've banged on EVERYTHING unneath the car, can't duplicate the sound. I'm starting to think rear diff.

Anyone know this symptom?

Yes it sounds a lot like that, but it's not. I banged on everything underneath, couldn't repeat it. Even removed the shield over the muffler...there were no shinny spots on it where it would have been rubbing on something. Put it back up, it's very solid.
