creak/pop when braking, vibration, and louder muffler...

My car is a 2012 Toyota Camry XLE I4.

I have recently developed a strange creaking or popping noise that seems to occur most times when I am slowing down. I have not been able to pinpoint it, as it sounds like it is coming from the wheel well, or under the car, or sometimes from the door or even behind the dash.

There also has been a strange "rattle" noise somewhere on the passenger side that we can't locate, audible only when on slightly bumpy roads.

Add to that a "vibration" while driving and the muffler sounding louder, as I can actually hear the muffler when the car is idling, a rumbling.

Will end up documenting the whole list of issues I am having and bringing it in for them to inspect, hopefully the warranty covers it as I only have 9K miles on the vehicle.

Any suggestions?

as far as the noise while slowing down, did you have your brakes checked? could be just something trapped on your brake pads.

the vibration while driving, is it in the steering wheel? if so, you can try to balance your wheels. you have 9K already and if im not mistaken, you need to balance it every other oil change assuming you do your oil change at 5K interval.
