Default Shake Rattle n Roll

Hi there,
I recently purchased a 2010 Grand Sport, but I'm finding some things that make me wonder. Last week I posted about finding material in my exhaust that turned out to be substrate hunks from my cat. So today I'm poking around in the rear passenger wheel well looking for a rattle, and discover what appeared to be a plastic black bag that got sucked up into the brake cooling duct. After partially removing the inner wheel well, I pulled out a plastic bag about 24" long and roughly 6" around filled with some kind of white fiber sheeting. It had been stuffed up there I believe to stop a bad rattle. Which I now have after it's removal. What is inside of there that could be rattling. Unless someone here tells me this bag is a stock item, my preference is to fix the rattle with out stuffing a bag of stuff inside the fender. Weird isn't it?
Thanks!
