just curious, i did a quick search but came up with nothing, does anyone else have a rattling noise around 3000rpm? i heard it a while back it comes and goes and i can always hear it when i am at drive-thru's right beside the wall, it sounds like something is loose underneath (tranny mounts maybe??) anyways i have no idea, obviously i will take it into my dealership but just wanted to know if anyone had the same problem

 

I think we all got rattles,we have cars that cost under 30 grand,My rear pillars and window area rattle away, just get louder engine components

 

ya but this rattle is getting worse and worse every day, it sounds like something is loosening, or a belt rattleing, only around low rmps tho and mainly when i reach 3000 in first and second gear.. definatley not an ignorable sound

 

Take it to the dealer and express your concern and take the service manager for a spin

 

check around your downpipe....i had an issue like that too... one of my exhaust hangers broke and started to ping and rattle like crazy when the exhaust would move. just a suggestion not saying anything is faulty.

 

o you bet!

 

thanks that helps i will check it out!

 

Sounds exactly like what happened to my car and my car is in the shop right now for it, today they are taking apart the engine, it's something internal like a piston, so I'd be warey of that...

 

check the exhaust heat shield around the cat and muffler...probably loose.

 

That's what happened to mine and a lot of others on here

 

I've been hearing this, but only on occasion and it's around 3k rpm, mainly on the 1,2 gears and if I try to accelerate in 5th on the highway. Nothin drives differently, no change in fuel comsumption. My roommate is gonna look at it today.

 

sounds like we all are in the same boat! RollermanDan i HOPE thats not whats happening with me, mine sounds like it is rattling externally so it is probably one of the above

 

I get it once a day. Ive had my car for 11000 miles and its never caused me a problem.

 

ya it sounds like we have the same issue, im taking my balt to get freshened up at the dealers tomo and they are gonna take a look at this issue also, i will let ya know
