The rattling noise could be caused by a loose component in the engine, such as a pulley or belt. It could also indicate a problem with the timing chain or exhaust system.

I would recommend bringing your car to a mechanic to have it checked out. It's always better to be safe than sorry.

If you recently had any work done on your car, it's possible that something was not properly tightened and is now causing the noise. I would suggest taking it back to the mechanic who worked on it to have it checked.
