I have 350z and when I eccelerate or allow my rpms to drop low. I here a rapid tinny rattling sound. It appears to be coming from right under the drivers side floor board.

Noises dont transmit well in cyberspace, but what you descibe sounds like a bit of pre-detonation. Perhaps a higher octane rating gasoline might clear up this little inconvienience.
