i got a rattle at idle speed...

when the car is idling in gear or in park, it has a noticeable rattle from under the hood. when i give it a little gas, and i mean a little, it goes away completely. it isnt a rythmyed rattle, it just flat out rattles like tin kinda only a little deeper sound, and its not the cat heat shield. what else could it be?
