I just got my R back yesterday from a body shop who was repairing damage to my hatch/bumper from being lightly rear ended. Today, I noticed that after the engine has warmed up and it drops into it's low idle there is a very noticeable vibration and rattle noise coming from the driver foot well area. When I get of the car, I can't hear it at all over the engine noise. Inside it is very noticeable. If I press the accelerator and bring the RPM up to around 1000, it sounds perfectly normal.
I don't know what would have caused this so suddenly. It definitely wasn't happening after the accident. I drove it a good 100 miles after that and didn't notice a thing.
Here is a video of the sound (it's not great quality). Turn the volume up. You can hear it better when I move the phone down into the foot well during the second half of the video. Ignore the squeaky noise my phone makes whenever it moves while recording.
