There’s a noise like a tambourine coming from rear probably on right side of my 2012 Nissan Rogue. I have looked but can’t find it. Does this sound like a mechanical problem?

This may sound silly, but excess your spare tire in the back under the floor and see if the tire is secure and there’s not anything loose bouncing around. If everything looks good, you should have it looked at, it could be suspension or maybe a loose dust shield.
