Hello,

The rattle can be from few different parts.
One of the most common rattle from the front is a loose brake dust shield. It is a metal plate that is mounted behind the brake rotor to keep down the brake dust.

The best course of action would be to do a thorough inspection of the suspension and brake components. Check to see if that dust shield is loose. Also look for any loose or damaged components.
Sometimes the if the anti rattle clip of the brake pads come loose, it will make rattling noise as well.

I have attached the diagram for your reference.
Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
