Default Rattling sound under car

I'd like to say it's coming from the front end, but I'm not 100% sure. It's happening when going over any lines, bumps, cracks, etc, and when the steering wheel is quickly turned from side to side while driving.

Default Rattling noise from under car

I have the same problem. From what I've gathered so far, it's the catalyst coated honeycomb meshes on the inside of the catalytic converter that have collapsed or broken apart, causing a rattle.

The only way to find out is to put the car up on a lift, tap each cat with a rubber mallet to see if they rattle, and check all the front suspension bushes/ball joints/tie rod ends for any excess play.

Mine was caused by that stupid plastic piece underneath. Whoever did my last oil change didn't put all the screws back on it and it was flapping around till I looked underneath and caught it.
