Rattling sound

#1
I have a '08 1.8 and when I start it up there is a metallic rattling sound that lasts for a few seconds. I have a little over 130k miles on it. Does anyone have an idea of what could be causing this?

I had this issue a while ago, and it turned out a heat shield on the exhaust around the catalytic converter had come loose causing a rattle on start up. It started rattling really bad, and I found it wedged between the exhaust manifold, and the firewall.

Definitely sounds like a heat shield. Mine came loose a couple of years ago just behind the catalytic converter. The bolts holding it in place were rusted. I just took the whole thing off and haven't had any issues.
