I have not disappeared, for some reason I didn't have the notifications "on" , and didn't see the message until I received a PM from JB74fan.
Yes I resolved the issue.
I took it to my local Suzuki AD and they said it was common with the previous models and big tires , ( don't know if that's true , since I have no exp. with the previous model), they put some thick foam between the metal layers of the back door I guess to act as a dampening and checked the small foam squares of the wheel base mount, that helped a lot but then later on my own , I covered the entire part that goes under the plastic part with a deading material (Killmat)similar to Dynamat.
Hope that helps @jb74fan

Was going to suggest using a long screwdriver to the ear but then thought "in a moving Jimny over a bad road " Screwdriver to the head .....not a great idea, but a doctors stethoscope might be a good idea.

The source of all Jimny noises are electrical:
You need to swap your speakers and add a subwoofer, which will make them go away.

Talking about rattles:
My new Gen4 had an irritating rattle in the front dash somewhere. It only showed up during some road conditions, and due to how quiet the rest of the car is, drove me crazy.
Finding the damn rattle was compounded by me being half deaf in one ear.
When I installed my subwoofer and new speakers, the guys obviously had to take the radio out and remove some dash panels.
In the process they inadvertently killed the rattle, so my sound upgrade actually DID fix my rattle.
