Why does my piano rattle?

I have an Upright Piano. It stands against a wall which has things on
it and near it. There are items on top of the lid also. But none of
this rattles, as far as I know because I have checked. So, as I play
generally multiple keys at the same time and/or loudly it rattles in
the left side/left bottom corner. I think. It is really really
irritating to me and anybody who listens. It just got tuned a few
weeks ago, but was still making this noise before that. I believe the
piano is....maybe 3 years old? I'm not sure. But anyways, I really
need to find a way to fix the noise! It ruins everything :/ Maybe
there's a lose screw down there at the bottom? Because the softening
bar (the practice pedal thing) is not connected on one side, it just
sits in the wood. That's why I thought there might be a screw rattling
in the bottom. I don't necessarily want to call another tuner because
it's rather a waste of money if I can do it myself. How do I open the
front panel to look inside??? Or if anyone has any suggestions as to
what the sound is coming from? and how to fix it? THANKS!!
(it almost sounds like a sort of vibration.....kinda like a picture
frame might be rattling)
