Default please help me with noise

guys, when i shot my bow this evening, it started to make a rattling noise, and vibrated a little more on the handle. so i stopped shooting and tightened everything that i possibly could. then i shot again, yet it still made the noise? do you guys have any suggestions on what else i can check?
thanks in advance

Make sure your draw modules are tight. Those things are NOTORIOUS for coming loose, and rattling.

I've had good luck plucking the string like a guitar and listening. If you can, move the string suppressors out of the way first.

Rory,
I just assumed you were talking about your Truth 2 which has those two STS type suppresors. Just gently pluck the string while putting an ear close to the bow, whatever screw is loose should make a buzzing sound. It's amazing how much noise a loose screw can make when you shoot. Good luck...Mike

Some times you don't even have to pluck the string. Just wrap the side of the riser with the palm of your hand and listen.
