I had a rattle/noise coming from my driver side wheel and it turned out to be the split pin on the hub not sitting correctly it sounded like rttling keys,also ive noticed that the passenger side seat belt holder vibrates on to the centre console,and some people have a rattle coming from the instrument panel speedo area, im sure a few others will pop in with there problems aswell,hope this helps

Would have more of an idea if you could try to narrow down the rough area its originating from...

i took mine to the dealers and went out with the guy and he couldnt hear it, so he jacked it up and it the tyre with his hand and the noise was there he done the same thing on the passenger side and no noise, so if you can get it jacked up and try hitting the wheel with your palm see if that males it happen

That could suggest a couple of things. Either loose wheel bearing, loose shock absorber, or loose front spring.

It could be any number of things, some of which have already been mentioned. Something loose in the glove box? Cable behind the dashboard? Plastic trim slightly loose? Just a tedious process of elimination.

You say the rattle is coming from inside the car, might be an idea to get a couple of passengers on board, one in the back and someone in the front passengers seat so they can have a listen and poke around while you can concentrate on the driving.
I had a knocking noise and found the passengers sun visor wasn't clipped in, drove me mad for ages.
Also take the rear parcel shelf out or fold one seat down in the back, that can help to tell if the noise is coming from there.
