I think he just recently bought the car, Bill.
AO, the noise that Billman250 is referring to takes place in the soft top tubing over your head and might be hard to audibly localize. It happens when a top gets replaced and part of an old rivet gets trapped in the tube. You would likely only hear it top up and it can be addressed by removing the tube end caps and blowing the rivet out with compressed air.
Another possibility of course is that you have something that has fallen into the defroster vents at the base of the windshield. In my case, it sounds like something plastic moving from one side of the windshield base to the other on hard and tight turns with plenty of G load. In our car, the wife and I are confident that it is the missing eyeball from a squeezy cow toy that has the eyes bulge out when you squeeze it. The one eyed cow lives in the corner of the dash.
