OMG what is that sound coming out of my engine?

I've had my car (bought brand new March of 1999) maintained/serviced in top shape since the purchase and all the sudden in November of 2005, there was the rattle coming from the engine everytime I stop. The noise comes from the drivers side.

The steering wheel does not shake, the noise goes away when I hit the gas pedal. When I am waiting at a red light, there's a rattle noise, often times it gets louder (kinda embarassing too). I've popped the hood, no visible problems.

I love my car, and I don't want to sell it or get ripped off at the dealership. A friend told me its because the weather is cold, um no I dont think so...any suggestions/advice/this happening to you too? Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

 

possibly a heat shield under there. take it off or do a ghetto fix. i got a bunch of wire hangers and wrapped it around the heat shield to keep it tight and twisted them together with pliers. sound gone. did this on my civic when the bolts holding the heat shield rusted off.
