Rattling noise in 2004 Vibe

[goodvibe77]

I've noticed recently there is a rattling noise in my 2004 Vibe which seems to be coming from the passenger seat area. When I'm going slow I don't hear it, but if I'm going 50+ mph its pretty loud. Anyone have a problem like this or know what's going on?

Heat Shield?

Check your "Automatic Belt Tensioner Assembly" on your engine. If bad others here have said it sounds like a rattling heat shield.

Assuming you mean inside the cabin?

I worry about all the rattles I hear when driving, so here are a few things I've found on the passenger side...

1) Passenger seatbelt buckle may rattle against B pillar plastic when the belt is twisted

2) Items in the glove compartment and door pocket may rattle against plastic walls

3) Door from cabin air filter (if it hasn't broken off) may rattle if loose
