Rattling sound

When I am on park, There is a rattiling by the front of the car. I hear it equally when I stand next to each front wheel so I'm assuming it's in between the wheels. The car doesn't vibrate while im parked or driving inside the cabin. What could this be? https://youtu.be/lbn63bKfg6Q

Make sure you didn't tightened the clamp down too much and you seated the battery right

Damn...You could see if they'd squeeze you in anyways but you definitely have the opportunity to upgrade

Not a think - confirmed it was the cats.

In your case, maybe a leak that sounds like a rattle? Could also be VVEL tap which is common

A leak? Any idea where ? What is a VVEL tap? It sounds like the rattling noise is directly in front of me

When I was diagnosing mine there was a thing called VVEL tap. It's similar and can be mistaken for the cat rattle but it is distinctively different. You can search on hear or google VVEL tap and watch a video of what I'm talking about but if you use ester based oil it will dissipate on its own. It's tough to distinguish but the VVEL tap has a bit more rhythm and the taps are spaced out a little bit more than the cat rattle.

If you have a leak it will most likely be pre/post test pipe. Can you take a video and post? would make the guessing a bit more accurate.

My rattles aren't very rhythmic. I'll look it up though and post a video of my rattling when I can. It will violently rattle spontaneaously followed by a softer rattling.
