jack it up, take off the wheel, and look at your bushings. Make sure no gravel is caught anywhere.

Dude usually a rattle like that is the CV joint/boot. Its a rythmic "tok-a tok-a tok-a". It should become more pronounced on cornering. The cat heat shield noise is usually more like a braaaammmfff kind of vibration noise.

look for free play or wiggling in your wheels push on the top and the bottom of your tire if it wiggles and it doesnt stay still u should check ur wheel bearing. Cv joints sometimes have bearings in them also if u didnt know.
