what type of noise and where about's under you? sounds like suspension to me if its louder on rough roads

[aaronlee]

well my gf feels it on passengers side and i feel it also, not so sure about behind us, its on the floor we feel it, and it sounds like something hitting underneath

I'd check the exhaust mount that's at the engine side of the car. If that's loose it would cause a knocking. You said you checked the exhaust itself but its worth checking the mounts to mate
