Default Rattling noises?

I only have 200 miles on my baby and I picked it up 3 days ago. Now I here rattling noises. Seems like its comming from the passengers side under the car. Is that the cats? Sounds like metal rattling. Also when I accelerate I here noises that sounds like a drill at the dentists. Is that the induction? Let me know if these are normal.
Thanks in advance,

There are heats shields which are thin pieces of metal mounted to the body (above the cats) which are only loosely secured. I would be willing to bet that these are your source of the rattling noise. Get the car in the air and remove them, it'll only take a few minutes (a couple small bolts, one shield on each side of the y-pipe) and you don't need them anyway.
