Get used to it. You'll hear more.

As with 95% of new cars. Especially the first few years of a production run. They haven't had the customer feedback to find holes in the design.

Alot of fixes are avaliable, and have been discussed exhaustively. Use the search function, that might bring back some threads with fixes in them. For rattles from your sunroof and (i believe) hatchback, the dealer has a notice (TSB?) and fix for you for free. Or try searching the forum's at www.yoursciontc.com. Less members than scionlife, but it's a good thing. Believe me.

jason- does it happen at idle? or only when the car is moving? only when accelerating?

i was thinking it might be a heat shield on the exhaust..
