Odd seat sound

When I accelerate, and my body is pushed in to the seat, I hear an odd sound just like the one made when you push on soda cap (like the one in the picture). When I brake, the sound is made again. It`s like a clic-clank, but more muffled, that comes from around the lombar support area. Any ideas?

Ok, i finally take the seat down and find the problem. The sound was comming from a joint, underneath the seat. The joint was riveted. I fixed the problem by generously applying a few hammers so the rivet, so it wont allow movement anymore. No more sound.

Taking the seat down, I have noticed that the metal underthe seat has started to crack. The metal is very thin and I don`t thing it can be welded. There are fine cracks coming from the edge to the interior. Did anyone else notice them?
