Sounds like loose change....
.. or keys rattling (it's NOT my keys) when I go over bumps. The sound seems to be coming from the front right. Just had the control arms replaced (under warranty). 43k miles on the car. Any ideas?

Windows open or closed? Probably caliper chirp
Sounds like caliper chirp. I have it, but can only hear it with the windows down. It won't affect braking, just annoying. I believe the sound comes from the caliper rattling against the brake pad. I was told anti-seize compound can help, but never tried it. Do a search for chirp and/or caliper.

I have the same problem...
I have the same problem and brought it to the dealer numerous times to diagnose. They never found a problem. I'd tend to agree with irish21 and say that it's just an annoyance, b/c I've never noticed any related problems with performance at all. Let me rephrase that... the sound is an annoying pain in the ***!
