Default Rear seat rattle - help!

I have a 2000 Disco II and the rear seats rattle anytime I'm on anything less than smooth pavement.
It appears to be coming from where they latch onto the floor.
Has anyone else had this problem and overcome it?
If so, how?

Thanks!

Is it a rattle, or a squeak? Are these the rear seats, or the rear-rear jump seats (7 passenger)? I don't have a 7 passenger, but my rear seats were making this really annoying squeak on almost every bump. What I did was cut pieces of cork/rubber gasket material into rectangles 1"x3". I folded the rear seats forward, and placed these rectangles on the floor beneath the striker, where the seats latch to the floor. This put more pressure on the latch, and eliminated the slack which was causing the squeak.

In my '96 my rear seat (not my jumpseats) was ratteling after I removed my cargo area carpet. I took squares of the foam underpadding from the cargo area that I had ripped out and zip tied them to the brace that contacts the floor panel. No more problems.

I have an irritating squeak from either the rear seat or the jump seats, im sure its where they anchor to the floor or , in the seatback to seatbun joint for the jumpseats. I usually forget about it once I leave the truck, its one of those problems that annoys me while im in it, but soon forget once I get out.

It's the back seats. I don't have jump seats. They both unlatch and flip forward to create more space in the back. I think the rattle is from where they latch when they are in the regular seat position. However, they rattle when I have them flipped forward too, so maybe not.
Thanks for the suggestions, I will try them out and see what works.
