check heat shields on your exhaust , sometimes band clamp will break , also that you skid plates are tight , tap around with a rubber mallet if you can recreate the noise.

I think it’s just a normal rattle unfortunately. It bugged me for the life of the vehicle but it never impacted the performance or use, and it never seemed to get worse / louder. Just stayed consistent under low end load. I had the dealer try to look into it and like expected they didn’t find anything.
Thank you so much. that gives me a peace of mind!

Search for waste gate rattle on this forum. There was a write up about putting springs from Lowe’s on them to create tension and stop the rattle. Springs were in stock at my local store and it works like a dream! 5 min install.
