Clicking/Rattling???

So I have a kind of clicking/rattle comming from the engine, it sounds like the drivers side, but I can't locate the exact source, and I melted my stethoscope a couple of years ago(don't ask). Anyway, it only seems to exist when the RPM's are comming down from being rev'ed up. It happens at about 1500-2000 RPM. I don't notice any negative effects from it, but it is bugging me that I can't seem to track it down. Any ideas?????

It happens in neutral/clutch in, i don' think it is the valves or the injectors, it has a different sound.

Does it make the sound with the clutch out in neutral?

yeah, does it regardless of clutch position, only time I can't seem to recreate it is when the car is in gear, but that could just be because of the noises from moving and being in gear.

I think I am having that exact same thing...
seems to happen primarily when I disengage the clutch while in either 1st gear or 2nd gear, at low-medium speeds.

I hear a sound that sounds like clicking....

Does yours sound like metal rattling, almost like sheet metal? Mine sounds like it could be the heat sheild for the exhaust mani, but it isn't that.

Ive managed to isolate mine to when im around 2500-3000rpm in either 1st or 2nd gear. It could be happening in all gears, but road noise prevents me from hearing it.

It sounds like a vibration sound, coming from the drivers side, but I cant pinpoint it....
