Hi KM02KUO, do you think it could be coming from inside the exhaust itself. Maybe an exhaust baffle is loose?

Possibly the heat shield near the fuel tank. Mine rattles when you slam a door! Also, check for spare exhaust clamps. Once had the Vauxhall main dealer leave a loose clamp on the exhaust when they fitted a new back box!
