Is the fuel fill door loose?

Doubt it but I'll check. sounds likes its in or near the dash. Its hard to describe the sound, pretty sure it has something to do with the high speed wind.

Here is another mystery solved ... Found the rattling noise under the glove box was a loose screw that mounts the spoiler module

Big clunking rattle from my right door was rusted out window lifter. R&R and all is good.
Followed the write-up on Jackals

I found the source of my rattling issue, it was nothing major.

Seems like there's some of the plastic in the wheel well is vibrating when I get up to highway speed. I just have to figure out a away to stop the 2 pieces of plastic from vibrating off each other.

To add to the list:
- worn rear gas struts that hold the deck lid can start buzzing when on their way out
- bolt holding metal pedal can start buzzing

Are you missing screws? Iirc there are 3 screws that connect the two wheel well covers at the top. One is close to outside side of the fender so it's hard to see unless you stick your head in there with the wheel off.

The part thats loose is at the bottom of the wheel well closer to the front door. I'm not sure if I'm missing any screws, I didnt have enough time to inspect the other side but will do this week and see.

I had an EXTREMELY unpleasant higher pitched rattle coming from the rear wheel passenger side every time I went over quick, low amplitude undulations in the road. It wasn't really a clunk like you would think from suspension but a clanging of metal on metal. I thought it was maybe the leaking rear shock in the same area or my bumper mount, but I thoroughly cleaned up, replaced or otherwise investigated the whole engine bay while I did my valve cover and timing chain cover gaskets. I replaced my sway bar end links while I was doing the suspension, but I believe that was a premature move, even at 94k miles.

Anyway, I ended up taking a sledge hammer and tapping the wheel and heard the rattle. I then started to dissemble and inspect the wheel, caliper and finally the brake rotor. It ended up being the damn slack in the parking brake. I never had the issue holding the car in place (Chicago is FLAT!) but quickly read into the matter and adjusted the slack out from the brake. Now the rattle is completely gone and it was a very simple fix. Turns out that after opening up the console, the original factory markings were on the adjustment and locking nut, indicating that the brake had not been adjusted in 19 years!
