I dropped a P-38 can opener down beside the passenger seat. It immediately grew legs and skittered into the hvac vent under the seat and has never been seen again--although it lets me know it's there with a metallic rattle sometimes.

That vent eats things. Check inside it.

It's not that kind clank it's a heavy duty clunk/thunk. If you could put your hand on the passenger seat where the motors under the seat are, that's exactly where you feel it. On really bad road way more severe.

That destroyed mount and mounting bolt might be bouncing around in there. Nothing under the seat, I pulled it and looked. Just those metal motors.

Maybe stuff a towel under there? It mayl stop the rattle, or at least muffle it. If the rattle changes, then your getting close.

Was up at the cottage. Had bags of stuff everywhere in my truck. Passenger seat was tilted forward. I was driving into town and the seat forward was bugging me. While doing 5o mph, I pushed the seat back to its normal position. Low and behold a full can of lemon oven cleaner had escaped from my bag of groceries. The jagged metal under the seat quickly punctured the can as it flew and blew lemon oven cleaner throughout the leather interior of my Tahoe.
Your rattle does not really bother me that much.

A lot of front noise was indeed. Whatever is under my right elbow is clunking and you feel it on the seat bottom, pass side, and it's substantial.
