New owner 6spd rattle off idle

I know this has been discussed before but could'nt find past discussions. When coming off an idle in first gear I hear a rattle which in the past would describe as knock/ping, but have been told this is 6spd "rattle". Vehicle is fine in other gears when under load no rattle/knock/ping. If this is a ping should the knock sensors pick it up and will I get SES or some other code? I'm just worried that I may be doing some damage. If it is 6spd rattle can it be fixed and what's rattling? Should I worry about this?

Video describes a noise from rear of car (and says ignore it), which I hear, I haven't heard of a rattle up front.

Feed it more juice on start-up, and see if there's less rattle. That would indicate the classic MN6 rattle on takeoff. Normal.

Most of that noise is the pilot bearing. I don't like it but it's part of the Corvette experience.
