Default help wierd noise

ok i just noticed it 2 days ago. It a weird noise coming from the back of the car somewhere. . . . its a little annoying tinging sound. . . I thought it was the rear end but while drive it goes away at WOT. So while I was stopped a red light last night i was just trying it figure it out and at idle it goes away but it i just rev it up to anything above idle i can hear it. So when i got home i was messing with it and if i shake the exhaust or shake the car or push up and down on the rear quarter panel i can hear it. Anyone have an idea what i need to look for when i can get it on a lift? Thainks any help would be awsome.

your exhast is hitting something...
trace your exhast from cat back and look for any scrapes on the top ... also look for tell tale spots on the floor board under your car... next thing to check is the hangers... you might have broken one of the rubber loops that hold it... they are very easy to replace...

let us know what you find
