Clicking/Ticking on higher RPMs

I have a 98 pathfinder SE, and recently my car has been making a loud rapid clicking sound (almost like crickets) coming from the engine when I accelerate above 2000 to 2500 RPMs.  The car runs fine still, same power and smooth ride.  No engine lights.  Recently I have been bumping around offroad, so maybe something got loose?  Another interesting detail is when I pull the accelerator cable on the engine block I don't hear it.  Only when I accelerate with the gas pedal.  All my belts are new.  I'm planning on doing some work to try to find the issue and was wondering what things I should look at.

Thanks for the tip.  I'll add it to the list.  The linkage to high rpm is interesting to me. A couple of other things that are suspicious are my heat shields are pretty rusted and loose, and my knock sensor has thrown me codes in the past.

Thanks, Yeah drivers side was salvageable with hose clamps. The passenger side had a a big chunk completely rusted off so I removed them. So far so good. I might replace with a set from the junk yard one of these days
