Default Odd rattle sound

This rattle started today in town... I didn't hit a bump or anything I just noticed between songs.... I can't really pin it down... None of the exhaust is loose... Here's a video of it.

If it sounds like metal on metal contact, it is probably just a heat shield on your cat converter, or exhaust piping (if still stock) which has broken loose. I would try to see if you can hear the noise under the car at all. If it is a heat shield rattling, you can get under the car and simply pull it off. I have always pulled mine off without any problems.

Not sure I the spelling is correct,
Tapetts inside the engine, usually hydraulic can make this kind of noise when wearing?

I figured it out... A bolt had fallen off the downpipe that made it loose enough to raddle but not enough to move by hand... Figured it put when I pulled into a drive way, draged bottom and blew out the gasket between the header and the downpipe
