What's this silly sound?
It doesn't happen when the car is in P or N mode. Only when it's in R and D mode, and only while standing still.
The sound doesn't start immediately (as you maybe noticed in the video).
As soon as the car starts moving the sound stops.
Also, the sound is not always present. Sometimes it just feels like it's slightly shaking in R or D.

Sounds like your accessory belt is slipping, or an accessory(alt, power steering- though I think ours are electric, idler pulley) is going out.
When in park there is no load on it so its loose and less noisy. In drive there is load so it tightens up.
Just my guess.

Last week I noticed the rattling sound in my Rc too. So I went to the dealer for them to check it. They told me that nothing is wrong with my car after they hooked up my car to their computer. I showed to them my video of the rattling sound. Any ideas of where is source of that sound ? Or is it a normal sound?

I haven't looked into this yet.
It's becoming a bit louder now, but I'm not using the car very often and feel like I don't want to spend money on fixing it this year. It will have to wait until next summer
I do suspect it's the belt.

Since I replied to this and now my car has started to make this noise and I have tracked it down to the AC clutch.
If you turn off the AC, this sound will stop. I am not sure if it means the compressor is going out or if the clutch is just worn but I believe this is the culprit.
I plan to research swapping the clutch out as I really don't want to open the AC system if I don't have to.
