Default Rattling Noise Wheels?
There seems to be a rattling noise that seems to be coming from the wheel or under the car when its in motion. I can only hear it at low speeds. It sort of sound like a metal object in a metal can that seems to be moving around. Does this sound familiar to anymore?

had the same problem. It is the heat shield. I took mine out and instantly noise free.

It's most likely a loose heat shield, it's located right behind the rotor.
