Default exhaust rattling

Check the various heath shields around the exhaust stuff. They tend to rust and rattle. Otherwise, I would suspect the cat more than the muffler. The ceramic honeycomb inside the cat can break up and rattle around.

Like Pete said, check the heat shields.

I get a noise, more like a ringing. Its coming from the 02 sensor, there is a ring around it that vibrates.
