Is it violent and incontrollable or just a loud rattle ?

it doesnt sound like its "heavy metal", it sounds more like it smaller, lighter weight metal hitting. rattles going over every little bump, man hole cover, speed bump yadaa yadaa. i checked my shocks, steering stabilizer, bumper.... everything seems fine
