yep its a hard noise to explain to anyone, and it only happens at a certain RPM if i remember( was about 2 or 3 years ago when I had my last corsa). If you can try and a get someone to hold it at the rpm its making the noise at and listen under the car or around the engine bay

I had this on my 1.4 16V sport on a N plate, removed all the heat shields and still rattled, tried removing the heat shield above the cat and still it rattled. Finally found out it was the cat itself, it seems it had broken up and disintegrated so thats what caused the annoying rattle at around 3000rpm, another possibility could be the waterpump

ive got the same noise at starts at 3000rpm sounds like a loose washer on a bolt or sumthing.

Exhaust? may only be rattling at certain revs? Could be a bit of rust rattling in there or something.

just picked up N plate 1.4 16v corsa sport, upon driving it home i could here a rattle around 2-3000 rpm, sounded like it was coming from the engine itself. any ideas at all? car also feels a little sluggish i think.
