There is a rattling noise coming from the front (passenger side) of the engine. Increasing RPM makes it less. Drives fine otherwise.

Hello,

If you would please upload a video so we can hear the noise. That would be the best way to diagnose and determine what might be the cause.

Since it changes with engine RPM, it is likely something to do with he engine.

Take a look at this article and let me know what you find.
This covers the basics of the noises that is typically emitted by the engine.
