Recently I've discovered a rattling noise coming from front of the car. It's not very loud and cannot be heard with the windows up and cannot be felt It's only when in gear moving and accelerating, and it happens sporadically. One thing I was able to target was, the rattling speeds up as I'm further in the throttle. I tried searching but none of the result resemble the problem I'm having. It is not affecting the car's performance in anyway, it gets annoying after a while and embarrassing while doing low speed driving. Any help is appreciated, thanks. The car is a stock 1gb gsx manual.
 
Its hard to pinpoint a rattle when you say its coming from the front of your car. It could be one of many, many things. Do you have some audio we can listen to? It could be as simple as a piece of molding around your windshield that is loose and vibrating as air hits it. If you can, give more details.
 
It's not very audible even with my stock exhaust, I was told it may be my TOB clip being installed backwards. At first I thought it was my hood latch being loose and vibrating, because it sounds like the rattling noise you hear when you're by a flag pole (just a more rhythmical one).
