It happens when driving intermittently. I have a video of exactly what happens ...the sound anyway.. its on youtube. I will provide the link. block out the wind. its that other sound. 1st link Nissan Altima 2.5s making weird metal noise" on YouTube https://youtu.be/jirs67-F_Yo

  • Can you check all your fluids (oil, coolant, transmission fluid), and confirm those are all to normal levels?

  • Cullub I can do that tomorrow. But all should be good but I will make sure. You think that could be making that sound? I never heard it before. Were you able to get a good listen? its embarrassing. Thank you btw.

  • I did get a chance to listen to that video -- strange! The only thing I can think though is something related to the engine or transmission, and fluids is the quickest and easiest thing to check.

  • I will definitely check fluids tomorrow. & that first video has the best capture of the sound. It's weird.

  • fluids are full. I'm starting to think it's a heat shield. I found more videos with the exact same sound & that was all of there problems.

ok, so a clamp came loose & that's what is was. it was cracked and that's what caused the rattle. Thank you for your help Cullub. 😊

I was going to suggest a possible loosening of a heat shield or exhaust.
