I've had it for a few weeks now, but only noticed it properly when driving with the windows down. Not sure what it is, any help would be much appreciated!
P.S. This isn't my video but I have the same sound when I hit around 2k revs and let off the accelerator. Both from stationery/idle and when driving.

Flexie pipe? Maybes when your revving the pipe is opening up as the engine moves, just a guess. Any heat shields hanging down?

Not that I can see. And it only happens at that particular rev. Any faster and it's fine. Thanks though, will go the flexie pipe checked out

Not quite the same as mine, but mine is the airbox, as it only has three mounts. 2,300-2,500 annoying like that rattle.

There is no replacement for displacement....

I've got the same noise, around 1,500-2,000rpm I think. I put it down to the standard downpipe flexi pipe. As from the cat back I've got a Milltek.

Anyone read up on the wastegate actuator? I've heard it could be that, and a simple clip fixes the problem
