Jack the car up and start shaking the exhaust. Your cat shield could be vibrating etc.

im almost 100 that is cat related becuase i cant really hear the rattling when i pop the hood and rev the engine, but my gf can hear it in the car, which makes me think the rattling is a little farther than the engine

1). Starter... sounds like a tooth is missing...

2). Heat shield, or exhaust touching a heat shield.

Just my .02. Video makes it easier to diag, but still not sure what that noise was in the 1st video.
