Annoying vibrating noise! What is it???!!
I went to a do-it-yourself high pressure car wash and I sprayed off the undercarriage (it'* snowing like crazy here). Anyway, shortly after that wash I heard this damn subtle vibrating or buzzing sound, from under the car that occurred whenever I pressed the gas pedal. It only happened when I pressed the gas for some reason, and now it does it when I'm idling AND it'* getting louder. I think maybe something'* loose after I sprayed it :?: Could be something with the exhaust I think. Can anyone offer any help?? Thanks, I'd appreciate it.

I noticed it was coming from the cat area under the car. I don't think it'* a big prob, it just sounds horrible! I guess something'* loose because I just held part of the exhaust (with a glove on ) when it was idling and the noise was much more quiet. I'll find out exactly when I get my oil changed next week. Thanks for the help.

Look at my sig. You'll see what I did with the cat!
I'd get a friend (a trusted friend) to rev your throttle while you're under your car and try to pin it down. Do it in gear (carefully) and out of gear. If it'* the cat, you'll be able to tell with the car off. Just kick the sucker. If it rattles, replace it.
