Default Strange C6 noise

I was hoping some one can give me some clues. I recently purchased a 2007 C6, with only 38K miles. On hard acceleration from a standing start (ONLY) I have strange noise like a muffled rattle coming from the front passengers foot well. The car has been looked at by GM mechanics and rep, and they assure me the car is mechanically sound. I personally have gone over the car and tightened everything in that area.
Need HELP.
Thanks

Catalytic converter failing internally. If you are luck it will be covered under emissions recall, Bill

Thanks, I will check back with the mechanic. I told me he had it on the lift and could not locate the source, then again it only happens under load (and from 0-20 mph).
