Well, let me rattle in with $0.02.
I don't think the question we want to hear about is whether it rattles "more frequently than not," but, does it rattle AT ALL!
Or, if you think that's too picky, it should at least be whether it rattles VERY frequently.
But as the question stands, a "no" vote wouldn't be saying very much.
BTW other polls have tended to show about 2/3 with rattles.

Im coming up on 3 months (7/2) after a good deal of driving on pretty crappy city streets. The only rattle I notice is the pass seatbelt when it's not tensioned up right. And a creak in the rear sort of related to the moonroof when going over bumps that torque the frame front/rear (not bumps that you hit front wheel-rear wheel).
That's it. Can't complain.
After you've driven the other Hondas ... The rattling for on this model is perhaps the least I've experienced. In general, Honda's make is getter more refined when compared to one generation back with the same model. Allow time for improvements, it's natural.

I don't find it natural for a car that's advertised as a beemer beater... :thumbsdow
Too many rattles in mine to my liking, but otherwise, I love the car.
I'd blame that on marketing ... In terms of model refinement from one generation to another, there is a significant leap in build quality.

But the TSX is a Euro Accord, which has been around for some time. It's not as is the TSX was a first-generation model straight from the drawing board. Plus, it's marketed in Honda's high-end division.
The TSX is an Accord, not an Euro Accord ... That is another marketing created term for a car simply known as - Accord. I'm comparing the current Accord to the previous Accord, having owned both ... Both are worlds apart in performance, handling and refinement being a key of significant improvement.
How Honda or Acura decides to market and sell their models isn't always what is truly being sold. Once again I'm gonna say, marketing is a powerful tool.

i have a rattle coming from the passenger side speaker panel, when the passenger puts their foot against it with pressure it stops, but i usually drive alone :( its definitly all kinds of music, rap, rock, trance, etc. and i turned the bass down to -2. that helped a tiny bit not really....i was going to bring it to the dealer but i doubt they would do anything.
edit: and on my honda del sol, and my integra gs-r i never had any rattles.

I've got a couple...one from my sunroof (but rarely rattles when sunshade is closed) and the other is my driverside window at the top of the seal..so when I crack my window open a little it goes away..

Sounds like your rattle has a TSB out: http://www.tsxclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3747
