This is from the wifey's 2007 Mitsu Eclipse. It's coming from the back hatch area, and shows up only around right handed turns. The audio in the link is absolutely horrible (youtube screwed it up, it was fine on my phone), but if you listen closely at the 3-4 second mark, you'll hear a little whine in the background. This happens either coasting or on the gas, and on every moderate to tight right hand turns only. It almost sounds like a pressure release to me, so maybe some shock or strut issue? Anyway it freaks her out so I need to get it fixed, and if it seems simple I may tackle it myself.

Thanks for playing!

It sounded like an electrical buzzer. It will be really hard with that video. Have you tried pushing down on the rear suspension to see if you can replicate while stationary?

Need video that is not terrible. Let us see what's happening when the noise occurs (i.e. give us a windshield view) and do it more than once.
