I too have this rattle.. have had it since I drove over the 1st bump few months ago when the car was brand new. Have not bothered to take it in, but would love to fix it myself.
Once again.. thanks for documenting this here!

So here's the strange thing - they removed the wool felt the previous mechanic put under the accelerator assembly and concluded that that was a completely different noise. So apparently I had two separate buzzing noises, the first of which is fixed with the wool, and the current one which has no fix and sounds exactly like a lighter version of the noise I originally had and posted the video of.
I called and emailed Subaru of America about this. I'm gonna keep doing that every month until there's a fix because if the fuel pump chirping is any indication of how long it takes them to fix annoying noises...
And speaking of the fuel pump, the guy at the dealership told me that there's an out of warranty fix for that - apparently a fuel pump from a 2015 WRX... but I want an in-warranty fix.
