rattling noise
I had this noise, and it was making me nuts. I thought it was the cats, but when I removed them, I found the problem - the O2 sensor outer casings were rattling.
I pinched the case with a pair of pliers, and the rattling is gone. Could have done it on the car without removing the cats.
If you attempt this, be careful. O2's are very fragile internally.
Hope you get lucky too.

Not much else to say. When its in idle and you rev it up to about 1200-1500ish rpms it sounds like a nail in a coffee can.. Its annoying the hell out of me
If it's that loud it could be a piece of the cat guts broken off rattling around somewhere in your exhaust.
Tap a low spot on the exhaust (including the muffler) with a 2 X 4 to pinpoint location of offending noise.
