terrible squeak/rattle under car

it sounds like when a school bus or UPS truck go down your street and you can hear the metal bouncing around underneath and making high pitch squeak noises...I use to only hear it in my neighborhood but now it happens on basically every road except VERY smooth roads or highways
its obviously metal on metal so does anyone have any ideas on what might be rattling?

any help appericated

Heat shield above the exhaust pipe right around middle of the car. Mine got the rivets poped out of 2 spots and it made a noise like that. Look under there and see, if it is grab some pop rivets and washers and redo it.

if you have a non LSJ with an automatic transmission and have an LSJ downpipe the cat will hit the sway bar, which is that black bar that runs under where the DP goes down.
