Back some time ago, one of the big 3 auto makers was plagued with rattles in one of it's vehicle line.
No dealer could figure out exactly where the noise was coming from until someone discovered a soda bottle in the frame or an enclosed panel.
This was determined not to be a fluke as every so many vehicles had the same problem, and it was later determined to be deliberately done, by perhaps, a disgruntled auto worker who was too lazy to seek a trash can or maybe an act of industrial sabotage.
More-than-likely this is not the cause of your rattle/bang-or is it?

Why does your car still have a rattle on uneven surfaces after you have checked and tightened all the obvious parts?
Might be the catalytic converter. The inside can break and rattle around in the converter or muffler. If you can raise the car enough hit the converter with your fist you should be able to hear the rattle if that is the problem. Might be the shield around the converter. The top half comes loose on one end and then rattles. Although answer 1 is correct, it only relates to one possible cause, and just because you checked and tightened all the "obvious" parts does not mean the the rattle has to go away. First, one of the "non" obvious parts that you could not see, or simply overlooked, may still be loose. Also, rattles are not necessarily the result of a loose nut, bolt, or screw. It is also possible that a stone, loose tool, or any foreign object could be inside some cavity in the auto body, and the shaking that occurs on rough driving surfaces could cause the movement resulting in the rattle.j3h.
