"Rattling chain" sounds a little 'light' for suspension problems; have you checked to see if any of your exhaust hangers are loose or broken? Is it coming from the front? Rear? Left or right?
Get it up on ramps or jackstands and eyeball the undercarriage. Grab things (exhaust pipes -cold!-, suspension bits, etc.) and give them a good shake. You need to narrow it down, or at least figure out what it isn't.

My bet would be something to do with the exhaust system. A heat shield could be slightly loose. I had a metallic rattling sound occur at just between 3K to 4K RPMs that sounded like a SS brake line was rubbing against the strut or rotor, but ended up being an exhaust tip that broke loose from its bracket. Like skip.irving proposed, get under the car and start shakin'!
