Some of you are reporting a rattle that the dealer says is normal according to a TSB. It is not!!! My car use to make alot of noise until it got up to full temp. I have found the rattle on my car and the same problem on a friends car. The heat shields on the turbo have bushings that the screws go through to allow for heat expansion. When your car is cold from sitting over nite reach down and touch the back heat shield. This is the one on both cars that was to loose. The dealer had to remove it and gently tap the bushing tighter. To tight is no good so they need to be gentle. Remember the shield does need to move.

My 2011 Sonata has developed the same exhaust rattling sound as described above at about 10K miles. I will take it to the dealer very soon and will bring a copy of your report with me. Many thanks to you and I will keep post whatever reply the dealeship offers.

And if you go to Google with this question (exhaust rattle), you'll find out we are not just a few owners with this problem...
