Dash Rattles?

I have a 2002 GLE and I dont understand this but everytime I go over a bump, its like as if the whole dashboard area is rattling or shaking.. Does anyone know what can be causing this?

Cotton and a license/ID card. Stuff the cotton or other similar sound deadening material w/Credit Card/ID into small holes/crevices where said rattles are coming from.

Or get real creative:

The point is for you to go learn something from what they have all gone through. No symptoms of a similar problem are going to be the same in a different car, but the fixes however, can be the same.
