Worrying noise!

Took the car for a thrash today and when I was reaching 6000rpm and above a really loud rattle was coming from the engine, I have heard of people talking about a rattle when reaching the limiter but I never heard it until today. Didn't sound right at all, any idea what this could be? Dealer job? Cars done just under 15000m.

Cheers

I am no expert by any means but it could be the engine mounts?

checked the crimped cover on the engine mount top left of the engine bay, mine was loose and caused a rattle, got changed Under warranty
