Why is my car making a rattling noise when parked?
One common problem that will cause a rattle at idle is a failing hydraulic valve lifter. The lifters are small parts that open and close the engine valves, activated by oil (hydraulic) pressure. If you hear a “clack-clack” kind of rattle when you start your car’s engine, it could be a sign of piston slap.
