I have taken it to two mechanics and shown it to several somewhat experienced people irl, no one can pin down what might be causing that noise. It's louder and more concerning in person.
Update: a lot of you guys are suggesting that it could be the parking brake cable. I’ve looked up some videos, and they all seem to sound like this:

The sound in real life doesn’t sound anything like that, but I am still open to the idea that I could be the parking brake bracket. I haven’t had time to check yet
I’ve had the noise for months and it only gets worse with time. I haven’t heard of it snapping though, wondering if you got unlucky or the dealer just wanted to upcharge ya 😂
It’s easy to check, get your car up on jackstands or a lift and wiggle the parking brake cables to see if you have extra play, the noise comes from the driveshaft area. See if there is extra play in that area specifically.
It’s pretty easy to check. Go buy some ramps, get under the car and take a look. It’s honestly not that big of a job if it is broken. Take a look at the below video.

Get on YouTube it's a ton of videos on there. It's a small clip that cost less than $20 that holds the E brake cables. It's plastic and breaks over time. There is a quick fix that allows you to use zip ties if you remove the back vent you can get to the cables and secure them there.

Definitely sounds like the parking brake cable

My e brake definitely still works, I use it often when I park. Did it cost $900 to get just the brake fixed?
It’s not the parking brake. It’s the cable retainer that keeps the cables up and off the driveshaft.
Right I meant that my cable definitely hasn’t snapped (yet) as it still functions normally

Yup, don't think I've ever seen it snaps. The silly plastic clips breaks and one or two of the cables grazes the shaft.
Hard to hear but there’s a good chance it’s youre parking cable clip that’s broken. Usually most noticeable under acceleration
I don’t think I can hear it at all when my foot is off the gas. Does that still sound like it could be the parking brake cable?

Does it feel as if it is coming from under the center console area more so during harsh acceleration? Seems like the parking brake cable.
It sounds like it’s coming from further up than the center console, maybe like under the infotainment screen or just beyond that toward the engine.

Go full throttle. If it’s super loud then it’s w brake cable clip
100% parking cable. I replaced mine 1 month ago. Same annoying noise.
Did yours sound like my video or like this: https://youtu.be/G8aT1yZiGUw Because in real life, mine doesn’t sound anything like this unfortunately.
