Default Rattling sound

I have 6spd 2001 Z28. When i shift from 1st to 2nd and begin to speed up, I start hearing a rattling sound underneath the car. It sounds like it's coming from under the right front of the car. I check to see if anything was loose. Nothing was loose. Any help would be very appreciated.
