Have someone sit in the back while you drive it and try to locate the noise. Or better yet, let someone drive it while you sit in the back locating the sound. Most sounds from the back are due to the hatch not being seated tightly. Hopefully, it's something easy to correct.

I know, crazy! I've had hatchbacks since the early 80s, so it's the first thing I think of when there's a noise in the back.

Thank-you all very much, It was a poor hatchback adjustment. I found the adjustable bumpers (thanks to your feedback) on the r/l of the hatch and extended the right. The noise went away. I have yet to speak to the dealer, but am still dumbfounded that they were going to drill a hole in the axle and spray lub in it for a rattle. Thanks again everyone. I'll start with this forum for any info I need on my car in the future. I love the car and anxious to see in perform in warmer weather.
