The xB has a low resonance at 2000 rpm. It is a nice sound in the summer with all the windows down (and my sunroof open), and I use it as an economical upshift point, so I am very familiar with it. However, if there is anything loose in the exhaust system or heat shielding, or anything touching it, it could be the cause of your 2000 rpm rattle. For that matter, it could be anything else that is loose on the engine or touching it, like the air cleaner or a hose.
