I had the same it was very annoying and finally I have found the reason the bonnet rattles in the lock since the rubber backstop have been screwed all the way down ! try to screw them up maybe it will help also for you

i will check the sway bar

I am having the same problem but coming from the rear (at least that's where it sounds like it's coming from). I just had it at the dealer for oil change yesterday and they stated they didn't hear anything... I swear they never hear anything. Anyways, I came here to see if anyone else was experiencing this. I am bound and determined to get to the bottom of this so I will certainly share my findings if I can get a mechanic to confirm the noise I am hearing and fix it!

I FOUND MY PROBLEM !!!!!!!

there was a small rock in the slot on the back side of the right front disk, at slow speed it was falling out and hitting the disk guard then bouncing back into the slot at speed the centrifugal force held in in place. it was just big enough that it wouldn't fall out had to pull it out. that sound was driving me nuts. at least now i know what it is if it ever happens again !!!
