Your problem sounds exactly like engine pinging. When accelerating push on the pedal slowly and stop when you hear the rattling. You may also want to try using a higher octane gas and see if the noise goes away or occurs less frequently. If this is the case then you definitely have engine pinging and likely need to adjust your timing.
