Try checking the mud guard on the rear wheel, not the one on the back of the wheel, but the small one in front of the wheel. It could be one of the inner yellow clips is not snapped in all the way and causes to rattle when driving.
I have a 2013 Santa Fe Sport. I've had it about a year and about 6 months ago I began hearing a 'clicking' sound. It sounds like it's coming from the back driver's side door area. I took it to the dealer and they pulled the panel off the back door and found nothing loose but they also couldn't duplicate the noise. Of course when I picked it back up from them the noise was still there so I made one of the maintenance guys ride with me until he heard it too. He thought it was probably from the bottom panel on the exterior door being loose. They have replaced both the front and back door on the driver's side plastic panel at the bottom of the doors but I can STILL hear this 'clicking/rattling' noise. It's mostly at high speeds on the highway, but can be heard when I drive around town too. Any ideas? The guys at the dealer don't seem to have a clue what could be causing it.
After reading these posts I was intrigued to take my Santa Fe by the dealership in which I purchased it at. Luckily when the service manager and I were driving it the sound started to occur again. When we got back to the dealership one of my buddies that works there in the service department said he knew exactly what the sound was. One of the clips that hold the plastic panel that runs along the bottom edge of the car had popped loose and that cause that panel to vibrate as the wind hits it. He said those clips usually pop loose when the cars are put on the lift for maintenance. Anyways since he popped it back in place, I haven’t had any problems.I've just purchased my Santa Fe Sport 13 days ago and noticed the same sound from the same area. Which leads me to my question. Psyke724, I'm assuming you had the dealership re-install the roof rail on the driver side or both sides to prevent it from occurring on the passenger side as well?
Bingo! Exactly the problem! Thanks a ton. We are heading our for vacation and 4000 mi of Interstates. It would have driven us nuts. Our local dealer is an idiot and I would have for sure gotten a can't duplicate after they charged a ton under warranty!Try checking the mud guard on the rear wheel, not the one on the back of the wheel, but the small one in front of the wheel.

Thanks so much to all the thread contributors for identifying that annoying squeak that I've had for 12 months. Took it to the dealer twice and the first time they couldn't hear it and the second time they heard it and reported that they would need most of the day to take off all the front interior. I quickly located the yellow clip on the front mud guard near back door. My hand movements of this clip replicated the sound identically. It turns out my yellow click had snapped off so my husband took it out until I can get a new one. Me and "the squeak" had become quite a joke in the family :wink so thanks for saving my sanity. :smileTry checking the mud guard on the rear wheel, not the one on the back of the wheel, but the small one in front of the wheel.
