Default Rattle when accelerating

I have a platinum powerboost with 2800 miles on it and tonight i started getting a low pitched rattle when accelerating at lower speeds. Doesn’t rattle in reverse but rattles in 4wd/2wd. Thoughts?

Check for loose heat shields if the rattle sounds tinny. Could also be a rock that is stuck on top of one also. Heat shields are mainly underneath but, there may be some in the engine compartment as well.

thank you - that is what it was. heat shield was sitting on the top of the driveshaft. weird that no grommets were out either, just isn't as secure as it should be imo.
