rattle

Remove the center console screws which attach the console to the floor and insert a rubber washer on each screw and replace. This will eliminate about 3/4 of the noise. The remainder is from the plastic cover which surrounds the gear shift. It is more difficult to eliminate the noise from this cover but can be accomplished with two way foam tape if not tolerable.
