So I have a very irritating noise coming from the right of the car. It's a rattling of some sort. I've check the rear shocks, not the issue. I have taken the right interior trim pillar out of the car which I thought was the issue but was not the trim piece attaching clips were loose and one was bouncing around back making a little noise, so glued them in there are only 2 clips, but again the noise is still there. Any help will be helpful and if your car does this, it's enough to get a gun and shoot it.

The rear main hub on the rear axle can make a whir-onto-a shrieking noise - replace the rear hub.

But another set of noises can be from the front right side axle carriage bearing going out, which make the noise seem to be from the front and engine while you roll. The Knuckle also has a bearing but you'd feel that one going out in the way the steering acts up on you - as a pull while you drive or a groan at a stop and you move the steering wheel back and forth while stopped.

Other noises can be dragging brake cables or a splash shield / muffler heat shield also coming loose and forcing a rattle thru their mounts into your ears. You don't seem to see loose hardware dangling.

Meaning the Muffler can be a cause for the rattle but that also is noticed as you rev the motor in park or neutral - so if you get the noise while moving - suspect bearings - else loose hardware or steering / ball joint or tie rod ends when moving steering wheel onto rolling - but bearings change tone as you speed up and down - so if this is more constant - put it in neutral and apply brakes to see if noise changes level or volume, not necessarily the tone - for that is speed dependent - but bearing load can change by applying brakes so that would change the volume,.
