I found the source of my rattle.

This weekend I installed a dashcam and stashed the wire around the trim. In doing so I investigated the rattle a bit more found it was originating from one of the black car seat latch covers behind one of the rear headrests. It was only the left one, but tapping anywhere on the rear deck was sufficient to make it rattle like a license plate (which is probably why I'd over looked the little plastic cover - I didn't see how it could be the source of a decidedly metallic noise).

I crammed some tissue under there (though felt or even electric tape might also work) and that was sufficient to keep the thing still enough that the noise is now gone.

It was so straightforward I can't believe I didn't identify this fix sooner. I realize we may all be enduring different rattles, but I hope that solution helps someone.
