Sounds like heat shielding to me. When it rattles like that, the heat shield is probably rattling against itself, so it might be difficult to fix, since iirc they're seam welded on.

make sure it's not the emission cannister heat shield in the rear
Identify this part - rear Emission canister shield?

My friend's forester has the same problem, completely bone stock, header headshields. Since they were seam welded, what we decided to do was lightly tap some of the sections with a ball peen hammer to bend them JUST a little. It makes a lot better, and we're thinking about giving it another love tap to see if we can't silence it. You could always remove the heatshielding but it does more than shield other parts, it keeps the exhaust nice and hot for exhaust scavenging.
I'm gonna say you won't take a hammer to it (I wouldn't do it to my car), but it might be worth trying to take it to a dealer. They might do a little something for nothing out of pocket.
