My car makes this rattling noise when im idle that really pisses me off. It sounds like some sort of jiggle. i looked online to see what it could be, and someone said they had a similar problem and it was the catalytic converter loosly attached to the intermediate pipe. but i think its something with the belt because when i pop the hood thats where the sound seems to be coming from. anyone know? ---

could be your blinker fluid is low. the blinker fluid pump sometimes rattles when its on its way out. take it to a mechanic, its an easy fix. make sure you tell him the problem on the phone first. ---

rattling? sounds like snakes on the motherfucking plane!!! Or if it your belt you may be able tell if there a little extra play if you jiggle it while the car is off, of course.
