A rattling sound in your 1996 Mercury Mystique's engine could indicate several issues, such as loose components, worn engine mounts, or internal problems like a failing timing belt or valve train issues. It's important to check for loose bolts, inspect the exhaust system, and listen for any unusual sounds when revving the engine. If the noise persists, consider having a mechanic perform a thorough diagnosis to avoid potential damage. Addressing the issue promptly can help prevent further complications.
Check for loose exhause system components, damaged catalytic converter, or spark knock(ping.)
There will be a loud knocking and rattling. The engine will not go far before it is destroyed. If in doubt chat the system has adequate oil pressure.

Well without further analysis or information, a short answer would be that your engine is BROKEN.
lifters are beginning to go. timing chain (if vehicle is equiped) may be coming loose. and or exhaust pieces are loose.
That sound is a bad thing. it could be loose hardware.
When a hub bearing is broken it will create a rattling sound as the wheels spin. The after a car accelerates the louder the hub bearings will sound.
The sound of chain rattling can create a sense of fear and unease, enhancing the perception of a haunted house as being spooky and eerie.
