The rattle could be due to a loose or worn sway bar, strut, other suspension component, body panel, brake part including dust shield or other as yet unidentified part. As you are describing it, the noise sounds fairly obvious so a mechanic should have no trouble pinpointing the origin on examination. To schedule an inspection of the suspension, and nearby components, please request suspension diagnostic - noise and the responding certified mechanic will get this taken care of for you.
