I'm not 100% sure, but it's a possibility...
Have someone listen from outside the car especially when you have it in
reverse or when idling. If it sounds like a metallic rattle, the problem
is a loose heat shield. I had similar symptoms with my Honda Accord not
too long ago. The rattle did sound like a grumbling sound from inside.
