so on my everyday commute here and there, any bump or crack in the road i hear sounds of change jingling from inside my wheel wells in the front on both the left and right sides. when i took it to the wonderful people at Mazda he told me he couldnt hear it and that because i have an intake and resonator deletes, he cant hear anything. it is CLEAR to everyone who rides in the car with me. does anyone know anything about this? suspension? something under the hood? i am stumped.

Grab a stick and poke it under the wheel wells. Could be a lost leprechaun living under your car lol.

Check the splash shields (the black metal discs facing the inside of the rotors) for the front brakes.
If they are loose (and I bet they are), they will make the sound you describe.

Well, the wheel well thing threw me, when I saw the title, I thought for sure you had filled up your piggybank under the passenger seat
 
It is most likely the struts making the noise, it's bot that they are bad because my new oem front struts still make the noise. It's just the noise they make when the fluid transfers through the strut.

I made a video about it a while ago:

Either the struts or possibly the wheel center caps are loose if you have aftermarket wheels.
 
I get the same noise, I can't figure it out either. Figured it was the wheel well cover.

Good luck. Let me know.
