What would cause the pipes to rattle whenever the hot water recirculating pump is running?
I don't even know what a recirculating pump does but when fast moving water hits a corner or elbow it has a force that can move the pipe. Most likely the pipes need a bit more tie downs. Hopefully the pipes aren't in the walls. Get someone to cut the water on and you go hunt the rattle.

Does homeowners cover burst water pipes and damage outdoors?
Burst water pipes and water heaters busting are covered for the damage caused inside the house if its sudden and accidental, but the pipe or water heater themselves are not covered as this is maintenance. This is generally not a problem as the damage is more severe than the piece of pipe. Outdoors is going to be more of a problem as the damage is nothing anyway. More information is needed to give you a complete answer. Are you talking about sprinkler system, pipes in a pool house for the pool, or other pipes. Cause is the issue in question as well.

What are noisy water pipes typically caused by?
A common cause of pipe noise in a home is when the pipes vibrate or rattle inside the walls. When the home was built, the plumber is supposed to install strapping around the pipe where it enters the studs in the wall or travels through the floor to prevent this. If this strapping was not secured and has fallen off (or never there to begin with) this will cause the pipe to rattle or vibrate when the water is turned on or off and cause the noise you are hearing. I don't think it is cause for alarm, but it definitely is annoying. Repairing this problem could be simple if the noise can be pin pointed. A licensed plumber should be contacted regardless.
How To Keep Your Pipes From Freezing With Heat Tape ?
If your pipes freeze and burst, the damage could be extensive, and the repair could be costly. If your home has exposed pipes, wrap them in heat tape. That way, when the weather gets very cold, the heat tape will warm the pipes and keep them from freezing. Even if your area does not usually have hard winters, make sure to protect your pipes just in case. You could have an unusually cold winter. Remember to insulate any pipes in your garden as well. These pipes can cause damage if they freeze, even if they are far away from your house.
Why are pipes insulated?
To protect them from frost damage. In cold weather, 'standing' water in cold pipes can freeze if the temperature drops low enough. When water turns to ice, it expands - which could cause the pipe to burst. However - you wouldn't know if it had burst until the ice had thawed !
