I may be experiencing this same 'sound'. I only have CBE system installed. The sound I hear is similar to the 'struggling rattle' sound of a clutch. It does not affect the performance in anyway, just an annoying sound. I tend to hear this on a hot day when i am cruising in 3rd at 2500rpm and suddenly punch the throttle and there goes the rattle until i reach 3000rpm and goes away. I also hear it on hard acceleration in 1st gear but again , it goes away once 3000rpm is reached. Its an on and off thing.

Your explanation seems to be on point. But just to confirm, could I be hearing the same noise as OP?

Am not saying am an expert nor i know exactly what ur sound is, but the description maches.

Anyone plz correct me if am wrong.
