Default Random Rattle

Hey guys,
I have this random rattle that is coming from under the front end of my vehicle.
It sounds basically like nails in a tin can.
It only happens at random times though, no pattern or anything. Cold vs hot starting, doesn't matter. It's just like out of no where, it starts rattling, then stops.

Listened to some videos on YouTube and it doesn't really sound like my cat, and I'm pretty confused on what the rattle can be.

Best part is whenever I try to show someone the rattle, it doesn't do it....

So any ideas on what can rattle under the front of your car?

I'll try to capture it in a video but not sure I'll be able to.

Could be that, I still have yet to further investigate this. However, when changing around my muffler and such, I figured out that if I banged hard enough on the pipe in front of the flange, sometimes I would get that same rattle.
