Default Rattle under car or inside engine bay

Not too loud, but I can hear it when car is parked with engine running. Anyone else get this?

I can't resist, but by any chance do you have an after market oil fill cap?

Maybe the catalytic converter heat shield is rattling - when the car is cold, get under it and see if you can jiggle the shields?

I ask because it is a common issue to find that the oil fill cap has vibrated off and will fall between the block and the firewall, at which place it will rattle around until it is fished out with wire. It would sound like something loose behind your dash.
