Why is my Ford Focus's engine making a strange noise?

I recently noticed that my Ford Focus's engine is making a strange noise when I accelerate. It sounds like a rattling noise and I'm not sure what could be causing it. Has anyone else experienced this issue and can offer some insight?

I had the same issue with my Ford Focus and it turned out to be a loose heat shield on the exhaust. I would recommend taking it to a mechanic to get it checked out.

I've heard this noise before and it ended up being a faulty engine mount. You should definitely get it looked at before it causes any further damage.

It could also be a problem with your spark plugs or ignition coils. I would suggest getting a diagnostic test done to see if any error codes come up.
