The reason you would hear it on the driver's side is because thats usually where you sit, right? Sound travels.

Ex, when my transmission mount went out, it took me a while to figure it out, why? because depending on where you stood or sat, it sounded like it came from a different part of the car.

If you can hear the car rattle when you getting something out of the pass seat, then it probably has something to do with it. May just need a rubber grommet or somethng.
