perhaps it could be the rear backing plate for the emergency brake rotor. that's what's wrong with my car right now. GM has a service order for those, maybe this might help you out.
GM service order: #01-05-23-010 (Sept. 21, 2001).
It's for 2001-2002 Camaros and 2001-2002 Firebirds

I KNOW I’m gonna get laughed at for this, but…
When I first got my car (97 RS), I had a “tapping” rattle that I couldn’t find. I thought it was the exhaust or something, but for the life of me, I could never find it.
After several weeks of complaining to my friends, I finally found it.
It ended up being the latch on the back seats. I wrapped the left bar with some medical tape, and no more rattle. Sigh...

Could be spare tire / jack. Wasn't on mine, but it's worked for others. Tighten it down, or drive around the block without it and see if it still does it.2000 M5 Pewter Firebird [Monsoon stereo]<br /><a href=\"http://www.centerlinewheels.com/sub_wheel.php?mw_id=2\" target=\"_blank\">16\" Centerline Galaxy Wheels</a> . <a href=\"http://www.bfranker.badz28.com/headlightfix/\" target=\"_blank\">Headlight fix</a> .
