Default Rattles when driving slow

I have a 2007 Camry that has been perfect until recently. About 2 weeks ago I noticed when I drive very slow, for example in a parking lot or on a dirt road, I hear random squeaks and rattles constantly. The sounds disappear when I can drive above 25 mph. This does not happen every time. Any ideas? All replies are appreciated.

Determine if the noise is front or back and which side of the car.

Squeaks and rattles when going over bumps are often caused by worn sway bar bushings.

Default Thanks for reply

Thanks for the answer. It isn't on one side or the other but when it is happening a more constant random noise all over the car. I thought it was also only over bumpy roads when it happened on the dirt road but the smooth parking lot changed my mind on that.

But now I at least have a starting place to check with the sway bar bushings.

Toyota put out a service bulletin for a rattle from the dashboard area.

Owners have also complained about a rear window rattle and front passenger seat.

If the noise is all over the car and doesn't get worse over bumps or pot holes the problem could be something other then the suspension sway bar bushings.
