Hi everyone. My 2013 chevy sonic is making this vibrating/rattling noise at around 2000-2500rpm. Here is one video I found online which mimics the noise perfectly. In the comments, the person says it is the bracket below the air filter element box. I am not sure if he is referring to the bracket of the Air filter box itself or the engine bracket Which is located below the air filter box. Here is the video:


Has anyone experienced the same noise and how do I fix it?

That's called a sonic boom. It happens when a vehicle goes too fast. In planes it's around MK1. In the Chevy it's a bit slower.

Where is the air filter element bracket situated and what would be wrong with it?
