Thet are fitted to the cats.  Look under the car just behind the front wheels and you may be able to see them

Could it be something rolling around inside one of the doors?

We have one of those, in the Driver's door.  Something to do with a check-strap problem, or impending problem, I believe.  ::)

it does actually sound like its coming from behind the seat behind me, i did lift the seat out and all that was in there was a 2p piece and a sticky sweet and a crisp bag

What about the large flat heatshields from the centre section backwards? I bent mine down to do the handbrake cable and all sorts of stuff had collected on top of them  :-?
