I have a similar noise over uneven roads. Mine is a metal chirp. Thought it was suspension.
Also when it's really windy and/or uneven roads I get a little vibration over my left right shoulder. I thought it was gas cap but is not.
I have had the car 4 months and cannot fix it.

I've been lucky in taking care of nearly all of my 'noises and rattles' for my new to me S2k. The only thing left is the glove box...it rattles a bit when I drive over rough roads. I can't find the screw to tighten the lid so I might have to do some more digging or perhaps 'glue' some felt between the lid and the actual box.

This may sound weird, but could it be your seat belts on your seat? I noticed a rattle with the top up (can't hear anything but the wind and my radio with the top down!) that was distinct on both sides of the car. Same type of rattle/creak. I found that if I held the seat belt up, it went away on the driver side. Got some seat belt shoulder pads and placed them over the seat where the seat belt meets it. Took care of the problem. Of course, mine is a 2005 with 54k miles on it that I took ownership 3 weeks ago. Been working to make sure I understand and eliminate all noises!

Not sure how you could have interpretted a metal on metal sound as the sound associated with the seat belt rubbing against your leather seat... but well... I guess you did. No, its not the seat belt. Please read the thread before you reply, it really helps.

it could be the back of your seat rattling on the pastic piece behind the head of the seat. that can happen when theres a little gap between the seat and the peice. that happened to me. so i just reclined my seat pucshing back on the peice so theres no space to rattle

I'm wondering if it could be the plastic tray/shelf that's in the back behind the roll hoops where the top would fold down into. Maybe that thing bounces around since it doesn't have the top resting against it when it's up.

I don't think that's it. I think I hear the same sound as the OP and it's a pretty harsh sound, not what a seat against plastic would sound like. Plus, my seat isn't close to the back plastic, either.

At least be grateful people are trying to help. If that wasn't the issue then move on. Best of luck fixing it.
Good day
