Actually it doesn't bother me that much, but what bothers me more is that I've had to explain to several people what that tinking, clicking sound is coming from the back. I've had at least 3 passengers comment on the sound. Most of the times its not that bad, but on certain streets, streets that I never even knew there was loose gravel, because I never heard it on my other 2 cars, is very pronounced on the 370z.
There is one particular street about 1/4 mile driving up to my work that it is really noticable, I've driven down this street literally thousands of times in my G35, Mini Cooper S & Armada and never knew there was any kind of loose gravel on the road until I traveled down it in the 370Z. Sounds like i'm being pelted by a sandstorm.
I know where it is coming from, there is one parking lot that needs to be re-paved, the cars and trucks that are leaving from there are just tracking it out onto the street.

On a good note, I went into work this morning and the rubber treatment that I did make it less noticeable, I'm going to say that it's about a 25% reduction in sound, but still not like any of the other cars that I drive, so just a bit more work to get it there.
