Default Mystery Rattle!!!

My car has recently developed a very annoying interior rattle and before you all say turn the radio up it doesn't work you can still hear it! I know the interior isnt an impreza's strong point but it was totally rattle free up until a few days ago.
I've tried all the places i can think, spare wheel area etc but no luck yet.

Just wondered if anybody has found any culprits, can't really tell where it's coming from though only does it once above 15 20 mph and hit a bump in the road, it's not so much a rattle but a muffled clunk/dok type noise almost sounds like it's coming from the middle of the dash but cant be sure, any suggestions much appreciated.

FOUND THE BUGGER!!!!

After me thinking it was inside the car turned out to be the exhaust hitting the centre propshaft bearing. It was fine when i fitted it but it must have been just far enough away not to hit and after a few miles it's settled a bit and was managing to hit. It most definately didnt sound like an metal to metal clunk can only assume it was getting muffled by what little sound proofing there is in around the tunnel.
