Troubleshoot rattling sound.

Guys, whenever i step on my accelerator pedal there's a soft rattling sound came from somewhere behind the stereo unit.
Once i lift off the accelerator, it's gone immediately.

It happened at whatever speed. 0-100km/h
And no other symptoms other than the soft rattling sound. (sounds like metal wire hitting something at a very high frequency)

What's behind the center console that related to accelerator pedal or cable?

Thanks. :cyclopsani:

nothing really except for wires from gauges etc behind consol. Could pssibly be engine mount causing this or even throttle cable may be on firewall too

my bracket was loose tightened it up and started getting vibration threw the gear selector

You may have a cd stuck back there. I had two there when I first got the cat and it sounded the same as you just said.
