Picked up a set from the dealer and had the shop that did the brakes throw them on, boom - noise was gone. Just had one get bent and removed on my 2011, and now there's a rattle over bumps. AFAIK, it's harmless.

Lord I thought I was the only person who had this happen to them. Same deal, had a shop replace my rear wheel bearings (they were shot at 250K) and while they were in there go ahead and replaced the parking brakes and rear pads. Rattled constantly, took it back and told them and they did nothing, finally I pulled the rotor and saw the springs were missing, took it back again and got the run around. I just bought a hardware kit from NAPA and put them on myself and reminded myself why I learned how to wrench on my own cars.
To the OP, this is worth a check. Have you had any brake work done, specifically on the rears? Have you used the parking brake a lot recently? Its possible the rattle springs degraded if they haven't been serviced regularly and suddenly getting used could cause them to break and fall out.
