It's possible that there is an issue with the timing belt tensioner. This can often cause a rattling noise in the engine when accelerating. It's important to have this checked by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to avoid further damage.

The noise could also be coming from a loose or worn out exhaust heat shield. This is a common issue and can usually be easily fixed by tightening or replacing the heat shield. However, if left unchecked, it could lead to more serious problems.

Another possible cause could be a problem with the suspension or drivetrain components. If there is a loose or worn out part, it could be causing the noise when accelerating. It's best to have this checked by a professional mechanic.
