If when accelerating hard in 2nd gear, you get rattling sound, that is probably pre-ignition ping.
if it goes away wnen you back off slightly, then is it probably the guality of gas.
If you can not get premium gas, you can add gas line dryer alcohol, and that will raise octane.
But it could also be a rattle from the converter heat shield.
Hard to tell without seeing the car, but poor quality or low octane gasoline can cause an engine knock under hard acceleration or heavy load. This is called preignition and can cause major engine damage. Preignition can also be caused by incorrect ignition timing.
