Default Rattling in th erear passenger side of the car??

WHenever I get the TA above 2000 RPMs I get a slight rattle inside of the car in the passenger side rear. I took out the spare and it wasn't that. I also removed the rear quarter panel and taped all the speaker wires together nicely and the rattle is still there. Any ideas? Sounds like metal to me BTW.
Shook the exhaust tailpipe when the car was shut off and it's not hitting anything underneath

maybe something is rattling in your catalytic convertor.
My car rattled in the rear for a few weeks before i figured out something was loose inside my convertor.
