Before my engine busted a few months ago, my 8 has this "marbles in a can" sound for awhile as well.
I cannot say it is 100% related, but since I read lots of post regarding the "marbles in a can" sound recently, just want to give a heads up and keep alert everyone.

Did you make it to this thread? https://www.rx8club.com/canada-forum-35/noo-my-09-has-marbles-can-noise-miac-191483/
I like that one the best because it explains a little bit about the problem and more importantly........the fix and the part number that many people(not all) have had fix the issue.
