Good Luck
Mine had a something along the same lines. The airbox bottom plate would vibrate against the mount. I hadn't tightened the 3 mount bolts enough & I had to bend the part that angles down (in the front of the bottom plate) up a little. <--more so it was the angled piece causing most of the problems. You did remember to put the backing strip under the two inside airbox mount bolts?
Thats funny, mine did that too ....and while I was at the Ford dealer getting a service I asked the tech to give me a hand, we drove circles in the parking lot repeatedly trying to figure out what the rattle noise was. It was the metal part of filter housing of the CAI rattling against the fender, and just like yours, it was only during takeoff, and only at a certain rpm, adjusting the mounting bolts fixed it up, no problem.
