Yes they can rattle. It normally happenes for one of two reasons. One, the outer heat shield rusts loose. Two, the inner structure of the converter fails and turns into a big lump that bounces around inside. Yes they will rattle when they are wearing out and bits and peices of the inner material start coming out and start vibrating around.
