From inside the car, me and passengers all swear it is coming from directly under the handbrake lever (but on the underside of the car).
Subaru have pulled apart all the heat shields several times and removed all the stones, etc... found nothing. It is driving me crazy.

Heyah,
quick question, does it do it worse when the eng's is cold? If it does I would be listening for a loose catalytic converter core. Failing this there are plenty of ways to make it happen, does it 'tap' in speed with engine rpm or vibration, or is it more relevant to road speed. This may sound stupid but I have had tailshafts/propshafts that have had a 'blob' of weld inside caused during manufacture, I worked builiding tailshafts and balancing engine components for a year or so, and I saw it happen there too!! Not saying this is your problem, just a thought. Tell me more about the frequency of the tapping......
