Noise when I press acceleration pedal

[ehshehsh]

Hi Guys. Whenever I just gently accelerate under 30 mph, there is some kind of noise from engine. It sounds like little metal rattling, it is not loud at all because if you don't pay attention you barely here it. However, it does make sound if I drive in quite area.

Mine is v6 and I am using premium gas.

I don't find any TSB for this.
Is it common in toyota engine?

mine is like a gurgle sound right when I pull off from a stop. I held my keys to make sure it wasn't keys rattling against the dash.

I use regular too. You gotta have the windows down and the radio off and be in a place with perfect acoustic surrounding to hear the faint rattle echo off a wall.

Like I said, its rare.
