Default Strange rattle noise under heavy acceleration?

Can anyone help me? The scoob is fine when driving about normaly but when i press the go fast pedal really hard theres a strange rattle noise? almost sounds like a heatshield rattle but i have checked and dont see anything loose. It doesnt sound internal either. Could it be an engine mount gone and the engine is rubbing againt a pipe or something?

I had the same on a 04 wrx, the decat pipe to gearbox bracket bolt was missing causing it to rub and rattle/squeak under throttle.

I've had that problem mate but mine was the heatshield.. there was an airline crack near the bolts hardly noticeable until I got it up on hydrolics and inspected it!
