High pitched rattle

Hi! Can anyone hear this high pitched rattle in the video below. It’s harder to hear through a video but it’s very obvious when driving. Every time I drive, when I reach around 40mph it starts. It’s been into the SC 3 times now they’ve said they can hear it but it never gets sorted. It’s in again now, I don’t know what’s happening with it. I tried calling them and messaging to see if there’s any updates but I haven’t heard anything.

I was wondering if there’s anyone else that’s had the same problem or know what it is? I just want to get it sorted as it’s extremely annoying!!

Any idea the direction it is coming from? Outside?

Slight bit of left foot braking would rule out pads/shims/clips vibrating
To be honest I’ve no idea where it’s coming from. The sound doesn’t get louder or quieter doesn’t matter where I sit, front/back, driver side or passenger! It’s really annoying😭😭😭😅

Unfortunately left foot braking on the Model 3 causes the usual cacophony of warning alarm sounds so it might drown out what you are listening for! I suggest the alternatives of going down a steepish gradient or just slowing from speed whilst in low level regen so that you can do some light braking (conventional right foot).
