Why does a catalytic converter rattle?
Normally the heat shield on top of the converter is the source of the rattle. It is possible the the converter medium itself has broken into pieces resulting in a rattle that sounds as if there are rocks in the converter. If the heat shield and the rest of your exhaust seems secure, it is likely the converter needs to be replaced.

The shield sounds like its loose all the time. When metal heats up it expands causing it probably to rub on something instead of hitting a object. jaybird1980
