Default Noise When Accelerating!!

I have a 95 Civ Coupe and I've been getting a really annoying "rattle" from underneath my car when I accelerate. I've removed heat shields before because of rattles but that doesn't seem to be the problem. It is almost like a growling noise. Is it my muffler? It looks okay :dunno: . Anything info will help. Thanks

A little more info... It does not happen while idling even if I rev the engine. It usually happens between 2000-3000 rpm in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gear.

Sounds like something is loose and resonant at the frequencies produced under load in that range. The only thing I can suggest is to put it on stands and look for anything loose or broken.

Might be your catlitic(mis-spelled) converter. Might have some loose particals inside there.

After just taking the car out for a drive, and experimenting with the problem. It only makes the noise while I'm turning and accelerating, not when I just accelerate in a straight line. :dunno:

Does the noise sound like a clicking? Worn out/damaged CV joints will click loudly in turns.
