Default 2200-2400 rpm rattle

Ever since I got my car aligned at Dobbs about three weeks ago, I have had an annoying buzz/rattle noise almost everytime accelerating. Sounds like its from underneath the car or maybe in the engine bay. It mostly only seems to do it at about 2200-2400 rpms, but yesterday when I was sitting in park talking to a friend it buzzed continuously for about 20 seconds just idling. If you know how to fix this, let me know because the noise is driving me insane!

I'd start by checkin out the heat shield like Z28 recommended. My '99 has an annoying buzz when im at about 2000rpm, i think its something under the dash, pretty annoying, but just gives me an excuse to bump it up a few hundred rpm. Odds are something just needs to be torqued down a bit. Good luck.
