800 miles on my new accord and I hear a distracting and rattling
coming from the back. Anyone know what is causing it and how can I go
about fixing it? Is this a problem for the dealership?

Check the plastic cover behind the center fold down arm rest in the rear
seat back. This unlocks and folds down to allow long items to stick through
from the trunk. If not latched securely and locked, this will make a very
annoying rattle.

Yes, it is a problem for the dealership.
On the 2001 Civic I used to own, the center brake light had something loose
and they had to take the whole thing apart to fix it.
Yours might be in the same area, brake light, speakers etc.

Does this also apply for the Coupe model?
