Plagued with a rattle [ Please Help ]

Yeah it's really hard to tell from video.

Do you have a mic with a windsock? That might help to clip it to the vent and capture closer to where it occurs. You could also capture in the engine bay to really hear the wastegate and ensure that's not resonating and messing with you.

I don’t have a mic like that but can assure you it’s not the watergate also . It’s something loose or resonating , I can hear that actual tapping of something hitting against something . I’ll try for a better video when possible .

The video doesn’t do it justice but it’s sort of both . Something is definitely loose someplace as it happens on throttle and off when going in the higher rev range . It also appears to happen more when it’s colder outside but I believe now that it’s warming up I still hear it .

I have the exact same issue (among many other types of rattles). I think that sounds like the "seatbelt rattle" from inside the door pillar. There is a video on here about how a guy stuffed some tape behind it and it fixed it. I def have the same exact very odd noise, it comes and goes, not every time I drive but seems worse on colder days, like you stated.

I saw that and already did that fix with no luck , sounds like mine is coming from a different area . Front right someplace .

Damn it. Well if you find it let me know. I was about to tear down the door last week. Sometimes I get some rattles from the front right speaker / pillar region and I could never pinpoint the rattle we have ... We will keep each other posted. Good luck.

Could always have someone ride shotgun with a cheap stethoscope to pinpoint. It's really hard to do without spare ears sometimes.

I had a friend with a camaro chasing rattles for months in his passenger door before he figured out it was hit shift knob because of a set screw, lol.

I had someone take a ride and we couldn’t exactly pin point the exact location it was coming from but I plan to try again . Hoping the next time we figure it out .
