I have a "rattling" sound coming from what seems like the front left (and possibly right) wheels. It is only audible during low speeds (<15mph). I've been trying to figure it out, but have not had any luck. I made a quick video of it...hopefully you guys can hear it!

Didn't hear anything obvious. There is a tool you might be able to borrow or rent from an auto parts store that borrows them called the "Chassis Ear". It is a set of six microphones, a switch box, and headphones. You clip the microphones to suspect points, then drive around while listening with the headphones. You can move the microphones around to zero in on the source of the noise. Be aware that many mechanics have never seen or even heard of this tool. Suspension and alignment mechanics use it to find rattles, squeaks, and other noises.
