Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't.
Notice it on sharp turns mostly in parking lots.
I've emptied the glove box, ash tray, cup holder tray, centre console.
I found some loose change under the ash tray which I thought was the sound, but its not.
Now I have fully removed all pieces of the centre console down to the carpet and the sound remains.
I have been doing some reading where other people in different makes/models have had similar issues and all have been from things getting in through the under seat vents and stuck rolling around in there.
Everything from coins, ball bearings and perfume caps.
The saga continues....
Ended up being something in the passenger side under seat vent.
A small piece of hard plastic tubing that looks like a penne pasta.... No clue where it came from.
I would suggest buying the cheap vent covers to avoid this happening to you.
$10 on ebay will save you a lot of aggravation.

This is why I vacuum under my seats as soon as summer starts.

I had my key fall in there once, bought covers straight away after that fiasco.
A key is easy though, a magnet will quickly get it out.
This piece of plastic was a nightmare.
Had to jack the front end of the car up to get it to roll back then use chop sticks to pluck it out.
