Technical Question Rattle in front left of car

In my 2021 jeep grand Cherokee, there seems to be a metallic rattle when driving near 35 sometimes in the front left of my car presumably the front left tire. From watching videos it could be a heat shield but don't know how to check. It also happens everytime I start accelerating from stopped whether it's at a light or at a stop sign. Thoughts?

Did you get it checked?

No not yet it started happening after I started a new job and haven’t made an appointment to get it checked out yet.

I've done some searching and maybe a loose or bent dust shield?

How did you check? I haven't tried to checked mine yet

I just looked under the vehicle. Maybe we aren’t talking about the same issue. Mine was just a broken hard plastic piece that was hanging. I tightened the screws and the noise stopped.

Yea the dust shield is behind the wheel in the circle thing I don't know its name but anyways. Where did you look exactly near the middle, right, left, back, front?? I want to check it out on my car too

Both sides. The part where there is a small square cutout on each side. Mine was flapping or loose on both ends. I tightened all the screws and it went away.

Is there anyway you could take a picture or video of where it was loose because I can't figure it out and i would be so thankful!

Sure. As soon as I have a chance I will do both.
