could be anything, description is a bit vague.

Does it sound like a deep clunk kind of rattle, or rattle like a loost bolt, a thin steel lind of rattle?

Could you describe it a bit more?
a horrible rattle could be anything from struts to loose plastics.

I had a similar noise and it was the brake hose metal end rubbing against the body brake line bracket because my brake hose clip feel off ordered a new one from toyota and clipped it on and the sound disappeared but then theirs a lot of things in the rear that can cause the metal against metal rubbing noise mounts, shocks, worn bellows/bumpstops, worn bushings, sway bar ends/bushings, etc...

Tinny metal rattle makes me think thin metal -- which makes me think e-brake backing plate. Specifically, the shoe rattling against the backing plate because one of the hold-down springs is loose. Either a weak spring, or the pin which holds the spring compressed has straightened.

Look for oil around the base of the strut.
Also you'd probably hear a clunk.
And i the strut is really bad, your car would be very bouncy after hitting a bump.

If the strut is off the car and you push the shaft down, and it does not return to the original position, its time to replace
