I have a 2020 willys. About year ago I noticed around 30 to 40 mph if i accelerate going up incline there is noise sounds like marbles rolling around in tin can. Stops after 40mph. Wont do it just revving engine. Anyone experience this and find a cause

A complete guess.....but, it sounds like you have the 4cyl turbo

Do you by chance have a wheel lock and empty beer cans in your center console?

Marble in tin can sound like a cat converter that is in the process of breaking up
Take a rubber hammer and hit the cat and see if you got some loose stuff in there

Sound is funny when in a moving vehicle. I had a Hellcat that I just knew had a rear end bearing or similar going out. Turned out to be the front bearing on the supercharger. I'd try running a few tanks of premium fuel.
