Driver Side Vibration/Rattle????

I'm experiencing a noise that seems to be coming from inside the driver's door (perhaps just forward of it). Anyway, it only happens when the revs approach 3,000 to 3,500, and usually only in the top 3 gears. It's definitely a vibration that is rev-dependent, and it only happen when accelerating hard (i.e., foot at or near the floor). Obviously, something "loose" starts rattling around (or resonating) at certain frequencies. The challenge (as always!) is finding out what and where!

Any thoughts, suggestion or ideas will be greatly appreciated.

I don`t know if this is any help, but sometimes the door catch needs to be adjusted. I guess sometimes it "drops" just enough to be annoying.
