Default Rattling passenger seat

If there isn't a passenger sitting down, every time i hit a bump it rattles really bad, is there a fix for this?

It might be the 4 bolts that connects the bottom seat to the rail. You have to remove the seat completely to check this. While you're at it, once you have the seat removed, shake the entire seat and see if you could spot the rattling pieces.

Im not sure if you checked this but when mines reclined most the way it actually rattles and hits the back of the roll hoop, when no ones sitting in it. I click it up one notch and it eliminates it.

I know for a fact it's not the seatbelt, it's the seat the reclined part, plus i have speakers on the back so the seats have to be reclined from the speakers.
