I have taken my Gladiator (2020 Rubicon) to a dealer, and a 4x4 shop and neither can verify this noise I am hearing (or havent taken the time to really dig in.)
Sounds like a quick metal rattling, usually at lower speed when I am coming from engine braking and beginning to apply light throttle. Never when I am not on the gas pedal. Just lasts a second or 2. Sounds like it's coming from in front of/beneath me. Driving next to a wall makes it super apparent.

Check the video I attached in comments: VIDEO 1 at 5 seconds, VIDEO 2 at 2 seconds. just ignore the dog panting/collars. Thanks!

Mopar 2" lift. 37s. Teraflex forged Drag Link Kit. K&N Blackhawk CAI. Borla Touring Exhaust

Paul I had a similar rattle coming from my Exhaust hangers hitting the Frame, Simply slide them back on the rubber hanger. Not sure if yours is causing the noise but its where I was able to locate mine. I also put a rubber cap on the end of the hanger but that's my OCD.

This may sound stupid, but have you checked all of the floor drain plugs to make sure they’re all completely seated/tightly sealed?
