2006 Dodge Grand Caravan rattle from bottom left stearing wheel

2006 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT v6 3.8L 50,000 miles
I noticed a fast rattle(rattle did not change speed as rpms increase) comming from the bottom left of the stearing wheel when driving it would start at around 1500rpm, then as the rpms increases the rattel quites down and when it drops to below 1500rpms i can not hear it

if I put the car in park and rev the engine to 1500, I do not hear the rattle, also i can not hear the rattle in reverse/park/1/3

but can hear it again if I Hold my foot hard on the brake and rev the engine to 1500rpms,

My thought is maybe
power brake booster check valve but the brake pedal operates normally(no extra movement)

thanks for any thoughts

ps, I am getting new tires and an alignment done as the tires are worn out and show extreme wear on the inside tread, but since I can get the rattle when sitting still figured it is not part of the tires

New center of dash board rattle on 06 Dodge Grand Caravan

sounds kinda silly, but any coins etc in the cup holders up front?? They rattle like crazy.

If its behind the cd / radio this item is easy to remove yourself. Start at the bottom from cup holder section, snap itout on the front and the sides are simple screws and plugs.

Did it myself to take coins out of the CD player that my 2yr old inserted??!! DOH

Good luck

Caravan air filter

The air filter for the cabin is located inside the van, look under the glove box door there should be a plastic holder that slides to the rearward of the van pull this back and a flat plastic door will come off, the door is two parts.

Some base vans do not have this filter if you look at the bottom of this and see a 1/2 long plastic stud sticking out of the bottom there is no filter in this.
