Not to seem like Mr. Obvious but here are a few areas to look. Keys, how many do you have on your ring? If you have any type of key ring remove it and test. Second the front ski skaggs or carbides, check to make sure that all of the bolts are tight. I've had a high pitch rattleing noise come from this before, the washers rattle on the nuts. As far as under the hood, good luck, lots of goodies undere there just start checking brackets and nuts and bolts. Just remember if you turn it (loosen or tighten) you should remove it and use lock-tite.
