I fasten the seat belt and then pull the shoulder strap all the way out so that it activates the child seat lock. Then pull it tight and feed as much into the receiver as possible. This stops both the buckle and the seat rattle.
people put child seats in S2000's

Hmmm, I usually have the radio up too loud to notice. I'll have to check it out next time I take her out.

Most of the rattling is actually the seat belt rubbing on the leather/vinyl. Test it by moving the seatbelt 2mm in each direction while it is touching the seat.

I put some furry velcro on the areas that rub and it eliminated most of the noise. You can see where it rubs, just look for the shiny area under the seat belt.

Furry velcro can also be used in the area where the seat belt bangs against the door.

Yeah, that's annoying too.
For the rattle though, just move the seat forward a click or two. If it can't touch what's behind it, it can't rattle against it. Common sense.

Mine rattles and it drives me friggin crazy. Its not rattling against the back, I can move it all the way up and it still rattles. I just turn the radio up or put the windows/top down.

Hmm...it's not the seat belt buckle then is it? I always keep it buckled when there's no one sitting in it, otherwise it rattles against the door endlessly.

That's what got rid of my rattle as well...In my case, I had the seat reclined enough that it hit the back and rattled whenever I hit a bump. I moved the seat up a bit and it went away.... (not sure if this is the solution for everyone though)

I have the seatbelt issue too, and like others I just buckle it.
