Odd Metallic Sound From The Engine Bay

Please read my description and if you have any idea what it may be, don't be afraid to share. Thanks. Oh, and please listen with headphones.

You'll hear the metallic sound at or around 4k rpm.

You tried checking under your vehicle for any damage or for loose/bent metal, like exhaust hitting chasis?

Took it to Toyota right after the incident. They inspected it, and nothing was damaged. It was not a thorough inspection, but more of a visual inspection. Hitting the block did cause my right fenderliner to rip off and hang on for dear life (had to replace it anyway, and 90 bucks for a piece of plastic!!!!?).

I don't see anything unusual either when I change my oil.

I would guess heat shield as well .. I had that happen to me on an accord v6 we used to own same sound..

Mine is doing the same thing when i am taking off. Its probably something in the exhaust loose or as someone posted earlier a loose heat shield cause mine sounds like it is coming from right under the passenger side where the exhaust is.

Oh, cool. So no one thinks it's anything major. I'll check the heat shield tomorrow. Thanks guys.
