When i start the car occasionally it will make the noise but it mainly does it when the car is in gear and is warmed up. For example when i drive for a while and stop at a red light it starts rattling and when i get on the gas it stops. It sounds like something is rattling like a heat shield or something. It has been doing it for awhile now but has been getting worse lately.
