Try holding light pressure on the brake pedal. If the rattle stops, suspect broken or missing anti-rattle clips on the brake pads. If that doesn't help, have it inspected. We can't shake parts or watch for looseness over the internet.

A buddy of mine had the same problem on a 04 Dodge Ram 4x4 and it was the anti-sway bar. The bushings were bad.

Definitely a possibility, but not common at only 35,000 miles.
