Rattling sound around 3200 rpms.

I got my titanium finally on July4th and I love it. I have been lucky enough to not experience any problems listed here but then again my car only has 400 miles on it. There is one thing though that has been annoying me and i figured I would mention. I did a search on engine rattling and didnt find anything conclusive but I apologize if this has been covered before. The title pretty much explains it, no matter what gear I am in when I get to around 3200 rpms i hear a rattling noise from my engine that sounds similar to a bb being stuck in a can. I dont think this is much to worry about but its getting quite annoying now sense I always hear it around 3200. Just wondering if anyone else is having this with their car and if it warrants a trip to the dealership. And as far as performance goes it doesnt seem to be effecting anything, its just always there. Thanks in advance.

I would get it checked out. I never heard of anybody having that problem. Is this problem at all times or only when the engine is cold?

take it in and have them check out the exhaust bolts. I had a rattling sound the second day I had the car, brought it in, they tightened it up, and that was it...good luck

It could be just when its cold but I seem to hear it all the time. I will listen for it today after I have been driving for awhile.

If it's the same description, then get your dealer to fix it for you. I got mine fixed couple weeks ago, free of charge! Nothing like driving outta dealer with free service done.
