Someone may have already suggested this, but check the seat belt buckle. A lot of people have complained that if it's not positioned just right it will rattle like hell. It happened to me after I went out with the wife. I couldn't pinpoint it, but it was driving me nuts. After reading a post, I realized it was the seat belt buckle. I just raised it up and it stopped.

Heck, I wish it would stop storming here so I could even have the opportunity to get the car out of the garage to hear a rattle.
