Have the exact same issue on mine. Started after the fuel injector recall work and water pump replacement. Sounds like the air box is loose but I haven't tracked it down. Every time I get the noise, by the time I open the hood its gone.

I have been searching all over trying to find a video with a similar noise like mine. And my 2021 sounds just like this!! We are having it looked at right now by the dealership but they tried to say it was normal but there's NO way it is bc it's newish. They have right now and of course they're having issues duplicating it. lol
And nice job catching it and getting a clear video of it, my video isn't nearly as clear as yours. I'll let you know if they find anything and if it's actually fixed.

Hi there, I'd be happy to look into your Bronco concerns on my end. Will you send us a message with your VIN and dealership info? I can look into things on my end.

I had this as well. I found the part pictured, sitting on top of my front bash "plate" (fabric). They almost missed finding the problem on mine also. Only low idle, usually in gear, fan engaged, sometimes with the wheel turned. Very annoying.
It was an isolator from the air box - which was loose...
They also discovered a water pump leak and that pump has been replaced. Hope this helps!

They found the airbox lid was loose. Didn't even know what that was. There is still a slight sound at times but it is much better.

Just took a look under the hood while it was making the sound. Looks as if the whole airbox/ intake is shaking which is causing this noise. Going to try to take it off and put back on to see if just moving it like this fixes the rattle

Seems like a thread/solution worth bookmarking for future reference, and then going to see what the heck an “airbox” is?

No word on what my sound is... Ive been waiting 2 weeks now for them to fix it. And just today my Bronco has gone into sleep mode, which means 14 days of inactivity & my battery is less than 40% charged and it's winter. So that's a bit frustrating.

I bet it's frustrating... good luck and hopefully a minor fix. What's more curious is that a vehicle, in for service at a dealership, can sit for 2 weeks without even being looked at. Hope you get squared away soon!

@Das05 Just curious but if the car is at the dealership how do you know the battery is <40% charged… do you have some after market instrumentation on the vehicle? My FordPass App doesn’t show battery charge telemetry.

My app alerted me that it went into sleep mode this morning. So I looked it up quick and this is what I found from Ford.

This one had the 40% on it.
