RPM Dependent Rattling Noise from outside of car

Hey guys,

I recently noticed that there is a small rattling noise from outside of my 2010 that only happens during an acceleration when the engine is on.

ECO MODE

In my beautiful drawing above, it would be around the spot above during an uphill climb. The weird part is that its only at this exact RPM position, anything lower I cant hear it, any tick higher than this (when i accelerate), it goes away.

Anyone have any suggestions? I tried to do a quick search and I see some complaint about inside the dashboard, but I know mine is somewhere outside because I cant hear it unless i turn the radio off and roll the windows down.

 

YES, it sounds like a paint can rattling very loudly. I still have yet to figure out what it is. It does not sound like an engine knocking sound though.

hwy1north if you have a 2014, you should just take it to the dealer and whatever the problem is should be covered under warranty? then maybe you can let me know what it is too.


Its starting to slowly drive me crazy. I have to take my car in for the ECU recall, so maybe I'll just pony up some $$ and have the dealer figure out what the sound is.

 

I looked up the engine ping, and no it doesn't sound like it. I should also say it doesn't sound like it's coming from the engine, but more from the bottom, if that makes sense. I'll try to record it this weekend when I have time

 

no. that is not the sound. its not coming from the dash. Its from the bottom outside. let me see if i can post a video soon
