maybe one of the rubber bushings for youe exhaust is wore out, allowing the exhaust to rattle against the bottom of the car

Try jerking the steering wheel back and forth. Do you hear anything? Jack the car up and grab ahold of stuff and shke it.

There are 1-2 on most cars.

The one that usually rattles is right by the drive shafts on Hondas. Sort of around the gear shifter. You might have to bend it downwards only 1-2mm. It's not much.
