Rattle coming from plate under car

I installed a set of 12 inch subwoofers in my car, and there is a loud rattle coming from underneath the car. I have traced this to a large metal plate that surrounds the spare tire well and was wondering if there was a way to remove this plate and install some sound deadner or if i could completely remove it.

Without knowing what kind of vehicle make model and year, I can not help. But, I would suggest instead of removing it, I would suggest try using expanding foam in a can that you can get at all hardware stores. But be careful not to go to crazy with that stuff!
And, not to get the heavy expanding stuff!
This should expand and it also works as a glue and a sound barrier so it should solve your problem!

Hope this helps.

Loud rattle sound when Idling

I suggest you have your car checked as soon as possible - while a rattling exhaust isn't desperately urgent it could be the cat breaking up which might later restrict the flow of gases. Most importantly excessively loose timing belts or chains tend to make most noise when the engine is idling. If the noise is being caused by this delay could be very expensive.

Loud rattle coming from the bottom of engine. mostly heard after letting off the gas, starting and shutting off the vehicle.

Very hard to know without actually hearing the vehicle but,,,With what you describe,the cat/converter 'may' be making the sound.With the car off and engine cool,get under and give the cat/con a really give shove or hit.The insides of them do corrode and the internals make a very loud rattle.If this isn't the problem it will let you see if there is a loose exhaust mount that may also make a rattle.(The cat/con sound is like there is a very loose metal plate hitting something)Its actually the internals of the cat. that have broken loose and rattling inside it.Hope this helps

Engine rattle

the "rattle" will be detonation caused by spontaneous combustion from incorrect air/fuel ratio and incorrect ignition timing
it is most prominent under acceleration or under load ( up hills , high speeds etc) and will melt pistons if left unattended
run the fault codes to find the faulty sensors , but I suspect that the heated oxygen sensors(HO2S) in the exhaust manifolds before the cat converters will be at fault as they report the gas composition back to the ECM so that the mixture can be adjusted correctly ( indicated by the poor economy)
there are knock sensors on the block which are indicated as faulty as they should be reporting this condition to the ECM to adjust the settings
finally it could come down to low fuel pressure or faulty injectors
what ever it is you need to get a proper fault code reading and have the problem fixed asap as it will cause engine damage if not fixed
