Default Rattle coming from 2005 NA 6 Speed

Hello all

Was driving my car earlier which is a 6 speed UK 2005 Crossfire and I could notice a rattle that was fairly quick. It doesn't seem to do it above 50MPH and it happens mostly when you are in a gear maintaining a speed or when you are lifting off to slow down. At first I thought it might have been transmission linked, but I pulled up and revved the car and I could hear it rattle once or twice (compared to continuous when moving). After that I couldn't make it rattle again whilst stationary but could when driving away. It can be heard louder outside the car as I opened my window and it was clearer. It sounds a bit like a ratchet spinning round....

Car has done 54,000 miles.

Unsure whether the car is safe to drive or not?

Anyone able to shed some light? It is hard to describe where the noise is coming from so I would be very surprised/impressed if anyone is able to point to the exact issue...
