Default Buzzing sound from rear shock tower

Under certain rpm, while accelerating my 997.2 has a buzzing sound coming from the rear left shock tower. Its almost a metallic sound which I like to investigate whether there is something that causes it at the shock anchoring points. I removed the rear seats trying gain access by removing the upholsters on the deck behind the seats and it becomes exceedingly hard. Trying to avoid doing any damage to the upholsteries I figure I'll seek some advice on this forum. How do I safely remove this linings to gain access to the rear shock mounts ?

For removal of the materials, it is not that hard as I have done it, Google shock replacement.

Before you pull everything out, you may want to try vibrating your cabin with sound waves.... you can excite the rattle and may be able to find it that way. I used this method to solve for my ratting roof. This method sure beats driving around looking for bumps.
