A rattling sound from underneath a car can be anything. It can be a Loose, worn out, broken, or even a bent part. Sometimes a foreign object can be stuck to the bottom of the vehicle. One thing you have to keep in mind, don't rely on where you think the sound is coming from while your sitting inside the vehicle, Sound resonates from under the vehicle.

From my past experience as a mechanic, The most commonrattling noise from under a vehicle at Idle was the 'Heat Shield' from the exhaust.

The best thing to do is to inspect and listen from the underside of the vehicle to pinpoint the location of the rattle...
