Rattling sound
 

Hey guys
hoping someone can help me.
sometimes my car makes a rattling noise that sounds like its coming from underneath the car. sometimes its louder than other times and it happens no matter what gear my car is in.
does this sound familiar to anyone or should i just bring it in to get it checked out?

Have you looked to see if there is a broken exhaust bracket causing the exhaust to rattle?

underneath the car where? front back? at idle? when moving? car? year?

Mine ended up being a cracked exhaust bracket (replaced under warranty).
