Today, I realized that whenever I pressed the gas (even slightly) to accelerate, there was some kind of a rattle sound (like a rapid click click click...) coming from somewhere in the front of the car. The frequency of the clicks varied proportionately with the amount of throttle (and hence the acceleration).

The sound kept irritating me for about the first 10 minutes of my drive. Then I decided to get into sports mode and floor the throttle for about a minute, and the sound went away completely.

Any ideas what that sound could be? Could it be my engine is coming apart?
