Either my daughter or my wife drove the ML and dropped a hairpin in the door pocket. Then placed a water bottle in the panel holder where the thing decided to hide under. Drove me nuts in corners as it slid and rattled.
Take everything thing out and vacuum, then see if it goes away.

Only other time I have heard of this is some debris (welding rod) left in the door during assembly on my friends GMC truck. Looks like your door panel is coming off...

I found an extra seat bolt in the floor pan of my 550. Drove me crazy as it would rattle when accelerating/decelerating.

I had a noise that occurred under acceleration, decelleration or turning that sounded to me like it was coming from the passenger door. Turned out to be a pen that had got into the HVAC duct under the passenger seat.
