Rattling noise from center console/transmission hump

2004 C230 Kompressor Sport 70kmi.
Purchased October 2010 with 67.3K mi. B service done right before purchase. Both recalls previously done.

I first started hearing this noise maybe a week ago. It used to be only close to first start of my session of driving.

Now, it seems to be more constant. There's a rattling noise/woodpecker sound coming from where the transmission would be.

I haven't lifted the car up yet as I've been busy and it's freaking cold.

Any reports of this or what may be the cause?

NOCSUCOW the name is just classic!!!

5 bucks if anyone can tell me what movie "NOCSUCOW" is from? I'll give you a hint..my favorite actor plays in that movie.

Maybe bad transmission mount..take a peek underneath.

Loose exhaust baffle, loose heat shield, broken Cat, damaged exhaust hanger - can be many things. Check that rear GB mount

You'll need to give more details like does the noise come while the car is moving (in Drive) and what about if you move the gear to Neutral while the car is moving, does that noise go away?

"NOCSUCOW" AKA "nack suk cao" is from the movie Kickboxer starring Jean Claude Van Damme. nack suk cao stands for white warrior. When he wins a Thai Boxing match people start chanting it.

My wifes car is doing the same thing, I haven't been under the car yet. Let me know if you find something. I will post my results also.

She told me its been doing it for a while on and off.
I'm a mechanic and never heard a noise like that coming from that area before... kinda weird.

Hey bro I sold that car long time ago. Transmission went bad soon there after. It's prob too late if your having same symptoms. But could be wrong too. Best thing is go do a drain and new fluid and filter ASAP.
