Welcome to the forum. Do you have a manual or automatic? You're not giving us much info to go on. When are you hearing this sound? Can you post a video of what you're hearing?

It almost sounds like you might have something rattling around inside your muffler or catalytic converter. Based on the video it seems like you have the car in neutral (or park if automatic), and the car is at idle. I'm reasonably certain that this is not a transmission issue, Although, I suppose it is possible that it could be coming from the rear diff. Other than the rattle, do you notice any issues while driving the car? If it is the diff making that noise, I would think you would notice some serious issues when trying to drive it.
If you are not having any issues other than the rattle sound, my guess is that a piece broke off the inside of you cat, and is rattling around in your exhaust.

Oh, that is a bit worrisome then. That is a transmission slippage code. I believe it is often related to the control valve body. You may be able to fix this issue with a TCC valve rebuild kit. It's cheaper than rebuilding the entire transmission. With that said, this usually results in a rough 1-2 shift, not a rattling sound. It is tricky to try and diagnose an issue like this online though.

Sorry. Had to say it. Maybe you've picked up a small branch, and it has lodged into the rear end somehow? IDK. If youre getting a trans slippage code, I'd give it a fluid and filter change. Check the fluid color while you're in there. If fluid doesn't smell burned, is a nice cherry red color, and you're mechanically inclined, you may want to CAREFULLY drop the valve body, and see if any check ***** are being held open by some sort of debris. Could be numerous things. Some of the old 4L60E valvebodies used plastic *****, which are inferior. If you want, just drop the valvebody, and carefully take it to a good trans shop in your area. They'll know what they're looking at, if you don't. Best of luck to you ...

If you bought the car from a dealer with a 30 day warranty and now they are telling you "the machinic is out for a week...which will put you beyond the expiration of your 30 days"?!!!
I would sternly encourage they grant an extension IN WRITING from their Finance or Service Manager or better yet I'd bring that potential money pit back. Period end of story.
