I have an Altima Coupe 08 2.5S with about 55k miles.

This problem started about a month ago. There is a rattling, buzzing sound while stepping on the accelerator. It seems to go away when I let go of the accelerator. It seems to come randomly and not all the time. The only time I can hear it consistently is driving up my driveway on a slight slope. See video. Anyone able to help me pin point the source. Thanks!

Yea that def doesn't sound good, it could be something small like a heat shield, but i wouldn't risk at and take it in. Cars pretty new shouldnt be making loud rattling like that.

Sounds like the exhaust might have come loose perhaps and is rattling around in the engine bay. Any check engine light?
