My '09 Honda Civic started making this rattle sound that seems concentrated on the driver's side, under the hood. It's intermittent and seems unrelated to speed or the fan or the brakes. It seems to start and stop at random, and can last anywhere from a few seconds to over half an hour. What's causing it and is it safe to drive it (going on a roadtrip in the next few days)?
