Annoying, but apparently common VW Golf rattling sound. (www.reddit.com)

This video isn't mine, but it demonstrates the same noise my 2017 Golf Alltrack has been making for a while now. Other users on Reddit are commenting to say that they hear the same noise from their Golf. So far, no one there has come up with a reason or a remedy, so I'm cross posting here for a little more visibility.

To describe it in words, it is a brief rattling sound that inconsistently occurs at low speed and low engine RPMs.

Bit late, but I put money on a loose heat shield, probably around the catalyst.

Anyone with a Subaru will know it well (because they need even more heat shields under the flat 4s).
