Default cant place whats causing this sound from muffler

Hello! Ive been browsing some posts on here but I just want to have a second opinion on whats causing this sound if anyone knows exactly whats causing it. Any help would be appreciated Thank you! Im thinking it may be just a loose bolt somewhere but Id like to be sure.

Silencer or tip bolts may be loose. Or something else loose.

Thank you i will look into that. You dont think it would be anything inside the muffler would you? hopefully nothing that needs to be opened and welded back. It comes and goes. when I start up you dont hear it until car is warmed up by the time i get to work and you can definitely hear it in the garage where i have to park. Not all bumps will make that sound as well which is confusing considering if something was loose wouldnt pretty much any vibration cause it to make that sound? It also sometimes is there when Im stopped at a light but when i lightly rev it up it goes away. Hate mysterious sounds...

No because it stops when you touched the end of it. So something is rattling

Good to know it was vibration. Was it a sweet sensation? C'mon feel it..
