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.;..
