Any thoughts as to what this rattle is from?

No video present but a "rattle is usually" one of the heat shields.

Not sure why there isn't a video. It works for me.

It is a rattle that seems to come from the region of the power steering pump.

Check you O2 sensor. I chased an on and off exhaust rattle for 3 years. It was even noted in the PO's PPI and was diagnosed as heat shield rattle. One day my S2 started to run crappy upon start up. Checked O2 sensor and it was loose, tighten it up and it ran fine again and no rattle
