Video of weird rattling noise when idling. Starts after car is warmed up, then goes away when I press accel or clutch.

I get a rattle when I go over bumps. Might be the golf clubs.

I'd apply some upward pressure on the trans or engine mount when the symptoms seem to arise. Just enough lift with a padded or wooden insert over the jack lifting plate to effect a vibration but not to raise the car. If it's not a drivetrain mount maybe the gear selector linkage.

And if you ever had a radiator or exhaust replacement upgrade than those would be starting points.

Thanks for input! I could def see it being a bad mount or hopefully just a loose piece of heat shield or exhaust. I haven't stood under the car directly when rattle is happening so that will have to next step.

This ended up being the emergency brake cable bracket. Replaced bracket sound is gone.
