2016 ram 3500. Linked a video at the bottom, sounds like a metallic rustling sound when I hit the pedal and am accelerating. Makes no sound when Idling or coasting,

Any advice on where to start would be greatly appreciated!


again video is of me slightly applying gas, the frequency of the noise increases as i put more gas on the pedal

I'm not hearing anything out of the ordinary, but the clip is like 6 seconds, so hard to hear over engine.

ok heres a longer vid, took it right at the exhaust brake is engaging during cold startup.. guessing it must be an exhaust/boost issue because of this? I know what exhaust brake sounds like on a deleted truck, but since ive owned it ive never heard it coming from the engine bay, only the exhaust


also here is normal idle.

Just an update for anyone that cares haha... so the EGT **** plug somehow came out of the back blockoff delete plate so there was essentially just a 1/4 inch hole for the exhaust to come through like a flute. Went to homedepot and got another 1/8 plug, hopefully it stays in there
