Video of my muffler buzz (more a metallic buzz/rattle)

My new revised part# muffler assembly came in! I have this buzzing noise which I took a video of below and you can hear it at 0:16 but it's most prominent beginning the 0:29 second mark. It's apperently not the same as the metal clanking rattle but a different variation of it. I'm gettin it replaced out tomorrow morning!! Also the buzzing coincides with the higher natural revs on the cold start warming up process as the rpm needle bounces....

Btw, Bboy I remember you saying you have a buzz can you verify this noise is the same as yours?

And yes we do have a fridge in our garage as you might be able to see in the beginning of the vid, my mom likes to cook in the garage (lucky for me my car does not smell like curry)

Ya, that sounds like my buzzing before I had my mufflers replaced. I don't have the sound with the updated mufflers at least not that I have noticed.

has anyone looked at the thin metal shield on the rear passenger side?

i dont have a good pic of it cus i cut it to fit my FI exhaust..when i did the install of the exhaust, that thin metal shield felt real flimsy...so i'm thinking the exhaust could cause that to flap and make noise...just a thought
