Answer the phone man, I have been calling for hours.
I had a similar metallic rattle noise in my driver's side door. It was a few inches from the rear door edge and I could reproduce it by hitting the rear of the door panel with my fist. I stuffed a foam sponge between the panel and door (I know, not the most elegant approach) and it stopped the rattle. Maybe a loose clip? I'm just glad it's gone.
