i heard mine, when revving up to 2k, like under the glove compartment. but im pretty sure it is in the engine bay on that side. the mechanic told me before that it is like a plastic part within the intake that holds them (like an accessory plastic clip thing i guess).

one time i removed the air filter cover (slightly loosen the screws) then the rattles are gone. put it back, they came back.

Jasmine thank you so much I'm actually having some transmission warranty work done tomorrow. as far as the rattling the best way I can describe it would be a buzzing? It sounds like a loose interior part to me.

there's an air filter behind the glovebox, has a little door to keep it in... might check that area.

I get the same rattle past 2800rpm, so usually doing about 75 on the freeway. Just a constant buzzing, and very annoying. Thought it may have had something to do with the cracked air intake issue, replaced the intake with an aftermarket one and the sound still remains. Stumped, but have a loud stereo, so don't care anymore. Let us know if you find the problem though.

This rattle noise comes from the plastic cover of the timing belt.
A design flaw, this cover is somewhat loose.
Try fixing a rubber tape between in the internal part of the cover where it touches the engine. You will need professional help to do so.

I have a similar issue in Pittsburgh, but I did order new end link connectors for the front to test. I will check the airbox as well.
