No lights oil level is fine

Engine noise in the 2009 Ford Edge 3.5 SEL can be caused by issues such as timing chain stretch or VCT phaser rattle, especially between 80,000-120,000 miles. It’s advisable to have a mechanic inspect the vehicle to determine the exact source o

#1 how many miles?
#2 how long have you owned it?
#3 what is oil change interval?
Do you let ur friends rev it too redline?

I could be wrong but, the rattle seems to be coming from outside the engine. when you rev the engine, the rattle doesn’t really increase that I can tell. It is almost like a bolt with a washer, and the bolt is loose and the washer is rattling. Or a really bad fan belt idler pulley that’s about to fall apart. I’m not saying that’s what it is. I would look around and see if you see anything that is loose. If you cant find anything then I would follow Tester’s advise.
