What is knocking & banging around in the front [Cabin audio included]

When I drive in 2nd (speed up then slow down while in gear, no brakes) something is loose and rattling around.

Audio, turn volume to 100%:

My shop just replaced an upper and lower engine mount for $800 (Or maybe they didn't?). There's also a sharp crack when I start driving in the cold, from front (right) passenger side. Control arm bushings? There was a service notice (SI M31 03 15) described in this thread https://www.minif56.com/threads/bang...culprit.78490/

3door 2015 F56 S 50k miles, LA area. Appreciate any advice!

Sounds like pops n burbles... is this in sport mode?

I tracked down a really annoying rattle, going over bumps- loose brake pads. Pinpointed the problem by grabbing the caliper (wheel off) and shaking the whole hub/suspension assembly HARD.

Maybe the heat trim? I cant hear a metallic rattle kind of sound in your audio clip.
