most likely exhaust related, ive noticed that when exhaust bolts are loosening (it happened to me before) at certain rpms that create a specific vibration you can hear some rattling and then not hear it at other rpms, wierd but true, but also if you want help with this prob your going to have to tell us where the rattling sounds like its coming from

It is probably not the insides of the cat. take a wrench and hit lightly around the cat you should hear the sound that is bothering you. If it is the shield just take some coat hanger and wrap around the spot that is making the noise.

Ford's are famous for the cat shield rattling.
