Default Strange metallic sound

Hi all,

I feel like this sound recently started. Owned the car for less than a week so far.. what do you all think it is? The Torque bar maybe?

thanks for any insight!

Sounds like something is loose, like a bracket or something. Rattle sound? Almost reminds me of a loose header bolt or exhaust clamp.

Do you have an exhaust surround plate installed at the tail pipes?

Maybe a loose NPP or AFM valve.

Get the car up on a lift and check all exhaust hangers. Listen with stethoscope or stick to pin it down to cats or valves.

Thanks, all!

sounds like I gotta bring it into the shop.

no check engine lights present so hoping it’s just something that’s loose and a quick fix...
