Odd Engine Noise During Accleration

Anyone experience a slight rattle or odd type of noise from the speakers in the car under acceleration between 4k - 6k rpms? Noise only comes during acceleration it goes away if you maintain the engine speed.

Try turning off the 'fake' exhaust noise. Also try to see if you can get rattle from playing music with engine off.

No, never heard. Sounds like a Spring getting compressed and scratching somewhere. But that would also happen on ruff roads.
