It literally sounds like a coke can is in the back tire rattling/tossing around when I drive. I start my car, I will put it in reverse to back out and you can hear it. Only high speeds it goes away and sometimes goes away on its own when I drive. Bumps do not do anything worse or better that I have noticed. Please help!

Hello, I am Danny.

Sounds like you have an annoying noise! Not sure if you have rear disc or drum brakes. It is possible you might have a broken/faulty suspension component working loose or something damaged from road debris. It might also be a faulty hub bearing or brake component. Best way to tell is have someone look for damaged components or put vehicle on lift and rotate the rear tires to determine noise. Here is a picture of the rear hub assembly. Hope this helps.
