Definitely outside of the car? and is it a rattle..or a knocking noise?  if it's suspension/steering related then you might feel the problem as well as hear it..It could be the old heatshield problem but difficult to say without more info..

I have a feeling it is the heatshield issue! you need to get under the car and see if any have movement! and bin or refix if they have

when do you get the rattle??? taking a corner?? going over a bump?? going over a bumpy road or just randomly coming?

also, does your car pull to any side or is it lighter to turn to any side?

I got the same problem...

Started a few days ago i thought the exhaust was banging against the body work but its not..

There are no loose heat sheilds and noting in the boot banging around.

Its driving me nuts...

It sounds like somethings loose and hitting metal. I thought someone put marbles or something in the back box...

Check your rear top mounts, they can let go and start banging etc.
