Default Dash rattle on acceleration

Get a low sounding rattle when accelerating particularly from a stop. Seems to happen around 900rpm and again around 1700-1800 but goes away past that point.

Is especially noticeable in first.
Anyone else dealt with this?

Some of us have had issues with the engine cover causing a rattle noise. I know I have a different engine but might be worth checking out. The dealer told me they "modified" my cover whatever that means...

You get a fair amount of vibration in the high gears and low RPMs. Throw that sucker in Sport mode and don't look back.

I wonder if that could be it? It sounds almost like it's coming from behind the area between the gauges and the vent left of the touchscreen.

Default Rattle behind the dash???

I get a ticking/vibrating noise which seems to be coming from the dash. It only happens when in gear, at low rpms. I think it's coming from the engine compartment. Maybe something to do with the transmission because it only happens when the engine is under load in low rpms. The dealer thought it was coming from the dash. They looked at it once, took apart the dash and found "nothing". Its going back in and they're gonna look at the vvt solenoids. Anyone experiencing the same type of issues?

I think I have the same problem I get a vibration which sounds likes it's coming from the passenger side dash area I can duplicate this nearly every time while in 1-3 gear 1600 to 1900 rpms . They took the dash off keep it for a few days but could find it.

Anyone ever find a resolution to this noise? I've been getting what sounds like a rattle noise under acceleration. It's mostly at low RPMs and is consistent, not like a metal component when blipping the throttle. I can't figure it out and the dealership describes it as "normal engine noise". It sounds like it's coming from the engine compartment or right in front of me behind the dash. It only happens when in drive. I can't replicate when it's in park/idle.

I am still experiencing the rattle/vibration. Sound like it is coming from the passanger side behind the dash/ engine area.

I think it's the transmission the vibration immediately stops between shifts
Or an exhaust component.
I wish I could get it fixed it bothers me.

Agreed. It's the same thing for me. It's ONLY under throttle that it's happening and it stops while shifting. I can't figure out what it is.
