its proberly just the internal baffles of one of the silencing cans. My kwik-fit (I know :P) has broken twice now it was random as well because the broken parts must have been getting logded stuck at some points | |

my bros one vibrates against something when you turn left, failed to source the problem, had the turbo and manifold off today as that was loose, but it hasnt solved it yet. | |

check your heat-shield on your cat, it could be that this has become loose over time | |

You need to get it up on a ramp and tap it until you have issolated the noise. Possible that one of the centre silencers has failed. | |

When does it rattle? If it rattles when coming off the throttle, it is probably your catalytic converter has broken up. The rattling inside is the ceramic innards all gone to shot. Expensive. Alternatively, get a de-cat pipe and up middle finger to MOT man/woman. | |
