Default Front end rattling noise

Hello,
I have a 2004 Neon SXT, 206k miles on the car itself, 176k miles on the engine. Over the last month or so I've noticed a rattling noise, I can hear it from inside the vehicle, but it sounds like it's coming from under the hood. It's more towards the bottom, almost like it's right under/next my feet on the pedal. I can hear it almost constantly, very faintly, but it gets louder when I accelerate, and very loud when accelerating up a hill. I don't notice any problems with temp, no dash lights have come on, just this weird rattling noise.
Any ideas as to what it could be?

Sounds like a heat shield possibly hitting your exhaust pipe. Harmless and annoying.
