Rattling noise

11 R3

Brakes bled
Now with a rattling sound on acceleration from
Under the center of hood; with a/c on or off and
Worse from 2-5K rpm

Check motor mounts for unusual wear / cracking? Long shot on a 2011. Video might help.

Pinging is often described as a 'rattling' sound and it is related to rpm. If you think that is a possibility then check your fuel (use good premium) and pull codes to see if you have anything pending.

Is that a bike rack?

the clutch line goes right down the middle of the engine bay right in front of the firewall. The line is probably rubbing up against the firewall. Follow that line from the top down.
