Weird rattle - not sure where it's coming from???

I've been getting this weird rattle during driving at around 1,800 rpms give or take 100-200 rpms on occasion. The rattle is coming from the front end of the car (not the side panels or anything). At first I thought it was the front panel or something since I just had a sound system installed - I thought maybe something came loose. I'm unsure now since I can't seem to feel the rattle in any panel. I'm not sure if it's coming from the engine or not but it seems likely the more I think about. When I'm at around 2,300+ rpms the rattle is gone. The rattle can be felt at times especially on poorly paved roads and gets really annoying. Do you guys think it's coming from a panel or the engine? I'm going to try to bring into Honda if it doesn't resolve however it's been going on for about 3 weeks now and nothing seems to give - good thing it's all under warranty!

well if its under warranty, just take it back to honda and have them try and figure out the problem and have them fix it.

I took a look at again tonight. It appears to be coming from underneath the dashboard in the glove-box however the rattle does not reside in the glovebox - its somewhere near it and it's pissing me off that I can't find it. I'm calling Honda tomorrow to set-up a service appt. so hopefully they can see the car ASAP!!!
