annoying rattle
I have a 2001 Mazda b2500 manual with 185k. There is a sound that started probably close to a month or month and a half ago. It sounds like small rocks blowing around in the exhaust. It's coming from under the passenger side floor. I've tried to crawl under and locate it but it's too loud to find. It rattles anywhere from a few miles to over 10 minutes. It's not linked to rpm or speed and goes away if I shut the engine off even if I leave it in gear while rolling. I don't notice any difference in performance. Anyone have this problem or know what it is?

A loose heat shield on the cat .
They are only tack welded on so with the vibration the weld breaks and lets them rattle.
Just make sure the engine has been off for a few hours before checking ,as they hold heat a long time.
I'm welding my inlaw's back on in his truck today.
