No I wouldn't call it a rattle at all. Nothing "metallic" in nature. The hissing sound is like a weezing sound. The passenger side noise is simply a funny intake sound.

PL, there is no air intake on the passanger side. That vent is for the engine bay cooling.

But the air filter is on that side...right? When was the filter last changed?

Did you access the engine area, look around and take a listen?

yeah I changed the air filter last summer. I also cleaned the MAF with that spray cleaner. The hiss/weezing sound is coming from the intake side, ruffling is coming from the exhaust side. I'll take a look I wonder if maybe a leaft is in there.
