Start from somewhere. You have multiple bikes. Replace things that are removable and go from there.
Swap some wheels over if you think it's a spoke.

When does it rattle? When you're riding? If you shake the frame? If you hit a bump?
My next guess is cable housing rattling against frame.

COOL SCREWDRIVER TEST WORKED!!!
Thanks all found it, It was my Jagwire derailleur cables coming off drops tight against head tube but not binding makes them slap on rough surfaces.
