Buzzing sound

I just leased a 2014 base absolute black, countryman, automatic, and love it. I'm noticing that theres a buzzing sound coming from the back of the car. Could it be the run flats? I will contact my dealer, but I want to make sure I know what I'm talking about.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Inside or outside? Inside could be rear seat belts or the parcel shelf.

Constant buzzing, on acceleration, as you first start the car, while idling, as you brake?

Between 60-70 mph, the humming/buzzing begins; it's coming from the back. My wife and kids hear it as well, so I'm not crazy! Lol!
It's like a vibration.; I thought it was the seat belts, but it's not.
Very strange and very annoying.

We hear it from the inside.
I love the car! Runs beautifully.
Obviously, I'm calling the dealer tomorrow; just picked it up last Tuesday.

Almost sounds like an exhaust hangar or something similar that's loose.
