If the noise you're talking about is when you hit bumps, it could be a bad shock or brake pads missing the anti rattle springs. If the rattling noise is from the engine, it sounds like you may have preignition.

Your fan that is attached to your blowermotor is loose, causing the rattle, or the bearings in your blower motor are bad, causing the shaft and fan both to rattle.
The first thing to check on a rattling noise is if going over minor bumps in the road if that is when it makes noise is a sway bar link, they make a rattling noise. If you raise that wheel up you might also want to try and wobble the wheel to be sure it is not a tie rod end or ball joint. Typically I run into the sway bar links or the sway bar bushings making the noise. However ive even seen it be a rock sitting on the strut plate.
several things could be wrong are you using 91 octane fuel or less? also it might be a timing issue you might be too far advanced in timing ... this causes preignition.. causing a rattle also cheaper fuel will do the same effect.. thanks Jerry holler if you need more.. also was the noise loud or just a mild noise ??
I had the same problem! I crawled underneath the car and discovered that a heat shield on the exhaust header pipe was corroded and rattling against the exhaust pipe. (Before the muffler) I removed the portion and clamps and solved the problem. Give it a try.
