Default rattle

started hearing a weird rattling/vibrating noise comin from the back end of the car.. it only happens when im taking off in 1st. it kinda sounds like if my exhaust tips where rattling against the back bumper but i checked them out and there on tight so i dont think its that.. any ideas on what it can be? it seems like when i give it a little more gas when takin off i dont hear it, i know my clutch is going out. can it be that causing the noise when i take off? sorry im a newbie still

Check the spare as well. make sure its good and tight. the fugger will make one heck of a racket if a bit loose.
