Have a metallic/rattling sound under my car while idling. Don’t hear it while driving.  
Any clue???

Check the heat shields on the exhaust. They could either be loose or there can be a stone up between the heat shield and cat.

Hard to say definitively from that sound clip, but I second knfenimore’s recommendation of a loose heat shield as the most likely culprit.
