Help! Rattle noise in front of engine

[TracyRGraham]

2008 xlrv. I have a rattle noise at the front of the engine, only when loading the engine. Then it goes away. I am thinking ether a ac compressor or maybe a idler pulley? Any bulletins on this? Thanks

Since writing the above I got to thinking. The noise is a real tinny sound and it resonates through the car so it is Hard to tell where it is coming from. I had another thought that it could be the catalytic converter making a rattle noise when car is under load. No check engine light just tinny rattle. The noise is annoying, but I can live with it until it causes a engine problem.

I found my front lower tension pulley broken at the mounting bolt a few years ago. I think it lead to a failed power steering pump and pulley assembly.
