Default Wierd sound from up under the car or muffler

I've noticed that every time i start my car up in the morning i get i wierd sound from up under the car which sounds like its coming from the muffler. The sound that im hearing sounds like a grinding or buzzing sound. And rarely it does it while im driving.

Might be heat shield related. Check the rivits on all exhaust heat sheilds and replace if needed. You can use self tapping screws instead of rivits... Mine did this a couple of months ago, it was the HS above the CAT.

I agree with the heat shield. Mine was rattling like crazy until I had it tightened up.

Is it metal on metal buzzing? Or more like fuel bump humming?
