Rattling at certain speed?

Rattling at certain speed?
I've only had my G for a few days, and I noticed as soon as I hit the 65-75 kph range accelerating OR decelerating, I hear a tinny sounding rattle. It stops if I pick up speed or drop off past the range.
The clutch doesn't FEEL like it slips at all so I think it's fine, what else could it be? I always read people here saying their G's rattled and made noise, but I think this might be something else, its pretty strange sounding and not anything like an interior plastic sound.

It seems to be central, I'm worried that I'm biased because I'm sitting in the center but I had the windows down when I heard it. It's hard to hear with the wind blowing past but I can't replicate it going slow, I'll go for a cruise now and see if its loud enough to be heard with windows up.

Does it always do it at that same speed, both when the car is warm and when it's cold? It sounds like it could be the heat shield on one of your Catalytic Converters.
Also make sure that you don't have any loose things in the cabin which might be rattling against some part of the car such as water bottles, a flash light, or even some change that could have fallen under the seat and might be rattling against some solid part of the chassis.

Then only thing that makes me wonder is that its NOT rpm dependant, strictly speed dependant. I even heard it as low as 58kph to about 73kph just now.
I can hear it with the windows up, its coming from in front of me right where the transmission/cats are so hopefully its just the heat shield. Man, day 3 with this car and I'm already stressing

Nope, it was a private sale. I think it actually is the heat shields, it sounds tinny like thin metal vibrating and now I can hear it even down to 40kph.
Is there a way to pin them up? I don't even know what they're hitting against, but I'd like to keep them sturdy and held where they should be..

You might be able to put the car up on some ramps, slip under there, and jiggle the heat shields a bit with your hands to see how secure they are... just make sure the car has been sitting for a long time on the ramps before you touch the converters, because they get extremely hot in a very short time and you could severely burn yourself if you're not careful. If you can wiggle them at all with your bare hands, they'll probably rattle on their own when you're driving.

hey did you locate where the rattling is coming from? i'm also experiencing similar noise definitely coming from below. when I disengage my clutch it usually goes away. it's a definitely rattle. I'm just hoping it's not my clutch bearing going out but it does sound like a loose bolt or heatshield of some sort... give me an update bud!

Not to freak u out but I had the same rattling when laying off the gas while in gear and it ended up being oil consumption issue.
My engine was 3 quarts low 2000 miles after oil change.
Infiniti replaced the short block for me.
