Rattle in the COLD mornings (exhaust area)

It makes a loud rattling noise but only when it is very cold outside.

What could be the cause of this and should I have it looked at?

Rattle from the engine? Dash? rear hatch?

...... need to give us something to go on, the more details the better.

Coming from rear. Sounds like my exhaust. It is very loud.

You know how you have a sub in the trunk and it rattles the trunk? Well it sounds like that but I can hear the rattling from the outside near the exhaust area.

i hear the same thing on cold morning start ups right in the center of the car underneath. It stops when it is warm so its probably just a heatshield or something
