I've searched and searched and can't figure this out.

I've paid a shop an hour of labor and can't figure where it is. It went away and came back.

It only happens when I have my foot on the brake lightly, or am letting the car "creep" or just as I touch the gas. When the car is off-idle revs it stops. I've got a couple videos but it's done it since I bought the car and it's literally driving me insane.

Any ideas?

P.S. I have to upload to YouTube then link. Will do that now.

Took me 4 months to realize the plastic screen over my dash gauges was loose. Should be 2 screws holding it in on the top. Additionally, the speaker cover on the top center can cause rattles.

Any mods to the car ? That doesn’t sound like it’s coming from the interior
I get something very similar but I have an aftermarket strut tower bar that very slightly makes contact with the stock air box and it sounds similar to that and goes away off idle.

I had the same problem, drove me mad!! it was the pollen filter rattling on the plastic scuttle panel it screws down to.

I've got a few mods, but it did this even when bone stock. I tightened down the OEM strut tower brace, t no avail

I wondered if this could be it, and everything seems tight. I think I'll just take it completely out and try from there.

I have the BMS cowl filters, but didn't get to replace it today.

I did put two credit cards beneath the gauge cluster today. Didn't do anything. Will try the cowl, but it sounds internal. Like it's right behind the gauge cluster.
