Actually to add to that its not necessarily just a rattle that bothers me, its more the unbelievable decible level for low RPMS which really just doesn't sound so great. The car sounds great loud at higher revs, but being extra loud during cold starts at 1400/1500 RPMS isn't my favorite symphony.
On cold start the flaps are closed, you can surely try unplugging them to see how you might like it.
