Engine noise around 2500 rpm
I am definitely an amateur when it comes to automobiles. I wanted to warn people about that first. 
I have a 2002 Maxima SE (manual). At about 2500 rpm it sometimes makes a noise. The best that I can describe it is as a gurgling noise. Is this considered a rattle? I only hear it at low acceleration. It is quiet enough to be covered by the radio, but it is still annoying.
When I took it to the dealer, they were unable to hear it. Unfortunately, it is not always there, so I can understand them missing it. They may have tested it at a higher acceleration, too.
I found these on the forum which may be the same, but I live in Austin (a little warmer).

Does anyone have any idea what it may be? Any suggestions I can take to the dealer for them to look for?

jk, but really, I haven't heard of such a problem....good luck dealing with the dealer..Nissan service will try to say nothing is wrong with your car...even if it IS making the noise when they are looking at it.

i think you're having the same issue as this
a possible solution is to try another gas. i've been using shell for the longest time and lived with the rattling for a good 9 months. just recently switched to chevron premium and the rattling has almost completely disappeared.

"..about.."
heh, i was just being careful with my post. yeah, i wouldn't say the noise has completely disappeared, but MUCH less noticeable now than before with the shell gas. now if i leave the radio off, and gas to about 2500-3000rmp, i could only hear a very faint ticking from the engine--not always, but occassionally. definately an improvement.
my dealer said it may be the inferior gas in the bay area (CA). i called BS when i first heard it, but now i think they just might have guessed right--hopefully.
