Default Rattle noise

My Ford dealer cannot diagnose the rattle noise on my 2017 3.5 Ecoboost. It has 176000 and the body is in excellent condition so I really hate to sell it. They had it for diagnosing and it didn’t make the intermittent noise….. sometimes I hear the turbo start to spool up is when I hear a short knocking noise that goes away quickly. It sounds like a bunch of rocks in a tin can????? Any thoughts and advice is much appreciated! Thanks.

Could this be what you're hearing?
XLT, Lariat, Raptor, what is it?

Thanks all.

The check engine light came on today and the mechanic I took it to told me that the right side can cause a misfire and therefore that’s what happened. Anybody agree with this? And it is a 4
X 4 Ecoboost 3.5.
