2011 VW Tiguan - 'Tinny' rattling sound on acceleration

Hi. I just brought home (finally!) my 2011 Tiguan SE 4Motion w/Sunroof and Nav a few days ago. First of all, I adore this vehicle!! I think it's gorgeous inside and out, especially in the Candy White. I'm very happy with the performance too. I was a little reluctant about getting into a 4cyl turbo after having a 6cyl performance sedan, but I don't miss my 2008 Acura TL at all! The panoramic sunroof (had to have it!) and iPod integration is fantastic as well. My only complaint/concern is with a tinny rattling sound coming from underneath the vehicle during acceleration. Is this normal?? Can I expect it to go away? This is my first German vehicle, I've always owned Japanese cars. Is this common among VWs??

Just got my Tiguan 2011 Se Friday, same sound,
Not really annoying so I don't really care unless it is a big engine issue :-)
I have had several conversations with folks who say it will not make a difference. I was wondering what the Tiguan owners that replied to this forum post are doing?
Thanks
