Anyone know what a pinging(?) noise from under the car around 1500 RPM
during acceleration may be?

(The sound is suggestive of something lightly striking a hollow metal
object, something like 3 times a second. No idea what actually makes the
noise.)

The car is automatic, about 9 years old.

MAKE AND MODEL PLEASE!!! Caplock key/shouting deliberate.
