You can try putting some sort of gasket between the throttle pedal assembly and its support to help reduce it (I used a bit of an old air filter), but it won't do a lot.
What improved the problem the most for me was switching back to 17" wheels with milder tyres.
Overall, the best advice as for rattles in this car is to live with them. It's a cheaper Toyota, not an Audi. It will probably outlast the Audi, but will do so rattling all along the way!

I have to side with that statement. Milder tires might have an effect... I'm waiting to have my vehicle returned to me in order to install the new Michelin A/S 3+ I bought. These are 87 load rating like the OEM Primacy tires, so I'm anxious to see if they are more compliant than the 91 or 94 load rating tires I've used in the past.
Also, if wheels are 18" you could feel some of the effects of the stiffer sidewalls, provided you adjusted the correct aspect ratio for OEM ride height.
