What is your question?
I have a 2005 Toyota Corolla with approx. 70k miles. The noise sounds like someone is getting a pencil and running it down a washboard. It's inconsistent and happens usually when my car is at a stop. Usually it occurs after I've been driving my car for 10 minutes or so. It also "creaks" when I have the emergency brake up. I recently had my tires rotated, new rotors, and new brake pad installed. The sound comes of the font of the car, when looking under hood, it sounds like it's coming from where my pedals are. I've looked at a few other posts and someone mentioned a sway bar bushing the inside? I have no clue... Thanks Aubrey

If the problem occurs "when my car is at a stop" and not moving, then you can eliminate brakes, steering, suspension, sway bars etc, since none of those items are moving while the car is standing still. If this is the case, I would focus more on engine related areas. Also, check the heat shields on the exhaust components and catalytic converter. As these rust, they can become loose and make a terrible grating or rattling/ringing noise at idle, and can be temperature sensitive and rpm sensitive.
