Default High RPM Engine Noise?

At around 2800-3000RPM I can hear a Rattling sound like tin from under the vehicle, sounds like something is loose and Ideas?

** at best I can describe the noise a tin marbles in a tin can.... very tinny... only at 2800-3000+ RPM I don't think the JK like high RPM what can this be?
