possibly the heat shields on the exhaust its common for the plate to rot round the bolts holding them up then you get the rattle,

cant understand why they didn't make these things out of stainless then they wouldn rust ( personally I would throw them for what good they are )

I get a metallic rattling sound sometimes from the underseat storage bins...very annoying and very hard to silence permanently. Try pushing on the (like you're closing them) and see if that is your problem. Most likely not, but, you never know!
