Default Occasional rattling. Motor mounts?
Doesn’t happen all the time. Mostly at idle RPM’s. Seems more pronounced from inside the cabin.

In this clip you can hear it a bit especially when the engine is shutting off. Any tips are appreciated!

EDIT: FOUND IT

Check/replace motor and trans mounts, when they go south, the exhaust likes to vibrate on the crossmember under there.

Or if the Jeep isn't completely stock, it could have poly instead of rubber for motor or trans mounts.
