It gos away when you hit the brakes,loose rotor splash shield? I have seen loose exhaust heat shield pop welds or lose bolts. Is it louder inside or outside the car (stick you head out the window).
Nice avatar lol.

My car has an occasional rattle that sounds like it's coming from the engine bay but I haven't stuck my head out the window to see if it's louder outside yet.
I've only noticed it since it's been colder out and it only happens when I first start driving the car, not when it's stationary. I've lost a couple of washers in the engine bay so I figured it was those but I can't remember if I noticed the rattle before or after I did that...

since i said something about it the other day mine started doing it too. it only does it when it's cold outside so im guessin some rubber or foam in the dash got cold and shrunk. not that i have previous experience of things shrinking when it's cold
