Rattle under the hood

Just started hearing a rattle under the hood. My mechanic couldn't diagnose. Said it could be a belt bracket. Said to have a dealer look at it. Anyone have this issue?

Post a video (Youtube, Google Drive, Streamable etc.) rattle can mean almost anything.

A decent mechanic can diagnose about ANY rattle with a mechanic’s stethoscope or even a large screwdriver. Is your mechanic at least that skilled? No guarantee a dealership would be any better, though.
