Please help!!! Engine rattling ONLY when warmed up and idle

Hi everyone !! I’m new here. Just got a 2008 G35 about two weeks ago . I believe I have a HR engine. Well I noticed it has a knocking/rattling noise that only reveals itself when the car is warmed up. It’s kind of like a ticking noise? Not fully sure how to explain it. Will post a video tomorrow . Car is at 135k miles. When accelerating, noise goes away. Car runs really smooth still . Only check engine light is for 02 sensor bank 1 sensor 1. I’ve been reading so many forums but none relates to my problem . PLEASE HELP!! 😩 I really love this car . Engine only rattles when warmed up and idling. Doesn’t rattle when moving

Of course you had the 10 year old vehicle thoroughly checked out by an Infiniti dealer prior to purchase to obtain the vehicle and service history and were able to use any defects found to lower the purchase price?

Post the video and lets hear it. Might just end up being something small.

That knocking/rattling noise might be engine pinging, fix your obvious problem and see if that fixes the OTHER problem as well.

no I checked the car out, test drive it, drove pretty fine. Service engine light was not on. It turned on the next day. I had the car checked out with my dad. It’s my first . Price was lowered by 1500 . Any idea what the knocking can be ? I will upload a video later

yes I will take a video when I’m on my lunch break at work. It only rattles/knocks when the engine is warmed up.

well I know maybe it can’t be my oxygen sensor due to the fact I had a Honda Civic with the same sensor malfunction . Both bank 1 sensor 1. To the other person , second car actually sorry kinda was a dumb buy since I’m only 19 and was excited. Should’ve looked around more although I was looking a lot

Also , when accelerating and on a cold start, it doesn’t rattle/knock . Only when idle and warmed up. It does it in PRND. 5AT. Any ideas? Will upload video in 2 hours . Any ideas will be gladly appreciated . I do not leave on a cold start, I warm my car up for 7 minutes before leaving to work

I agree with cleric that doesn't sound like an engine noise. The heat shields on the CAT's rot out and then bounce around. To fix mine they just some really large clamps on them.
