A new noise has started under the hood, on the passenger side. There's a metal rattle sound that sometimes happens when I accelerate from a dead stop at an intersection. Any idea what it could be?

With the engine running, crawl under the Jeep and find out.
Something gotta be loose....might be flexplate bolts.

Search "flexplate" on CF or "jeep noise" on youtube.

Gee oh Dee

Motor mount?

Sounds like a motor mount to me. Check the passenger side mount

Your exhaust could be slapping your crossmember.
