When the engine is under load it will move slightly on it's mounts, especially when accelerating, that might be enough for something to touch on the exhaust system and cause the rattle, which is not there when the vehicle is not moving.
It could also be that the prop shaft needs to turn to get the sound. The answer will be the same something loose.

Hello, fellow Jimny owners,
I am having a similar problem with a 2019 Jimny, except here the rattle comes in at 1.5k - 1,75k RPM. After a couple of months, I recently tracked it down to the engine area but can't pinpoint where it is happening. Could someone with a bit of mechanics knowledge point me where to look?
The car was exported from Europe to Cape Verde, where there are no Suzuki dealers, so the guarantee is of no use.
In the video below you can hear the sound come in at the 18 second mark.
Thanks a lot

That sounds like an exhaust heat shield to me.

Really hard to tell from a video, might be worth investing in a mechanics stethoscope and start probing different areas of the engine to locate the noise.

But it can be anything. Do you have access to workshop pit so you can get under engine to see if you can spot something from underside.

I am with Lambert on this one. It sure sound like metal vibration that is introduced at a certain RPM.Lambert wrote: That sounds like an exhaust heat shield to me.
