One common source of rattles that can be fixed easily is the rear seatbelts, make sure they are tucked behind the seats or they rattle around pretty good.

Check the manual handle to open the trunk located in the lid. It must be locked in place, otherwise it rattles.

check outside the car after start up to see if you notice any rattling from your exhaust, The exhaust can tumble sometimes

This is a known issue with the muffler. It rattles like crazy. Take it to the dealer and have it changed. Here is the ITB: ITB08-23
2008 G37; RATTLE IN MAIN MUFFLER

Im taking mine this Wednesday to fix this rattle issue and to fix the RPM spike when braking.(ITB07-048a)

Hey Jdm, Check If The Rear Seat Back Rest Is Fully Locked In. Sometimes It May Look Locked But It Isn't That May Be The Issue Of The Rattle When U Go Over Bumps.

make sure it isn't your passenger seatbelt hitting the side of the car. pull the little arm up and see if it rattles then
