rattling noise

[Jeremy]

Hi again guys..haven't posted in a loong time considering my car hasn't been giving me problems...
1996 Acura Integra
106,450 k (highway miles for the most part)
V4
Automatic....

Ok I noticed a noise my car is making. Generally speaking the noise either occurs when I first start the car up in the morning or when I get ready to go to lunch and my car has been sitting in the parking lot for about 5 hours. It's a rattling noise coming from under the car in particular under the front driver seat....I left the car running and I got out and looked under the vehicle and its coming from a part under the car. I know its not the catalyct convertor because that is situatedin the center of my car....its some part located to the left of that. sorry i'm a newbie when it comes to cars, perhaps someone can provide some feedback. It rattles further when I rev or accelerate the car but only for a short period of time and then it stops.....I've been experiencing no problems with the performance of my vehicle, perhaps i'm being paranoid...but I generally get nervous when I start hearing weird noises coming from the car...

Is there anyway you can post a picture of the offending noisy part? If so, we can tell you more about it. Is it small cables, lines, hoses? Waiting on reply.

I agree with Way2old about the picture. There are so many things that could be rattling; from an exhaust heat shield, a stone guard to protect some form of unit too a loose retaining clamp that the guessing would be non stop.
If you need help posting a pic let us know and we’d be happy to help with that as well.
