blue.... did you have a little something extra in your eggnog? you got to
realize that no one is going to be able to make an educated guess based on
that sparse bit of info, right? i think you'll need to take a step back and
try to describe speed, in/outside, type, dull, frequency, location, RPM vs MPH
etc. otherwise, folks will just chuckle even though we may want to help

Well start with the most common rattle we get. That would be rear cats gone bad. Get under the car and bang a hammer on them to see if they have any loose parts. Like he said more detailed information would narrow it down.

There is a can of nails on your roof. Remove it and the rattle will go away.
