The sound is louder when the windows are down. Also, it doesn't always happen. Sometimes it is extremely noticeable, and I can consistently reproduce the noise. Other times it is very quiet, or doesn't happen at all.
Every gear will cause the rattle, but I've noticed that higher gears are worse. My guess is because higher gears take slightly longer to leave the RPM range of the rattle.
I'm planning on taking the car in under warranty for a squeaky clutch, and want to explain this problem too. Has anyone ever experienced something like this?

This sound exists in every single 2017+ manual 86/BRZ I have driven. Toyota Canada, as far as I know is deeming this a non-issue until further....very, very casual investigation finds it, or a customer can pinpoint the issue with evidence.
Source, going to Toyota basically since I've gotten my car over and over and calling head office over and over.
