Default Something rolling around in engine?

I have a 1998 Boxster that when I take corners quickly, it sounds like there is a socket or small tool that slides/rolls to the opposite side behind me. Anyone else have something like this or did some unattentive mechanic prior to my ownership leave a tool inside somewhere. It makes the sound both ways when I turn as long as it's at a brisk pace. Has done this for the 3 years I've owned the car.

You are a patient person. I would look for a loose socket or nut under the seat.

I'm pretty sure it is coming from behind me (and I checked the storage area below the rear window). I will check under the seats, but I'm almost 100% it is coming from behind me. Thanks for the reply!
