Default some clinking upon rev...?

as im cruising at about 45 mph i take my foot off the gas and tap it real quick...my engine revs and right before the power shoots the the rear there is like 3 or 4 clinks real close together coming from (what sounds like under the car towards the rear)...i can only hear this while im cruising at that speed...any faster and i cant hear it and any slower my exhaust mutes all other sounds...

any ideas what this is?

well i found the culprit...its the passenger side exhaust tip where it is hung on my frame...that **** is loose or something and when its jolted back and forth it makes some crazy metal to metal sounds...dont thinks its a serious issue and i aint gonna worry about it unless someone tells me its a problem.;..

wow....how incredibly wrong i was about that squeeking...its actually coming from somewhere around my belts in the engine...and its only squeeking upon revs...idles fine...cruises fine but at low revs its "squeek squeek squeek" and at 50 mph i punch the gas and its a quick squeek then goes away...
