Hi and welcome to the forum.
There is a heat shield over the converter(s) that sometimes, the spot welds break and will make it rattle.
 






how much???

do u know how much it would cost to get it fixed
 












welcome aboard
 






Welcome To Explorer Forum! What most of us do is just take the heat sheild off. Bend it back and forth 'till it comes off in your hands.
