Weird rattle

On smooth roads the car is dead quiet, but going over rough roads it makes a weird ratling noise from under the car. Started after I got a Vigi 3200. Now, its just a noise and the car has no vibrations and some times wont even make the noise. As far as the way the car runs, it runs awesome, no complaints. It was a little weird driving it after the converter but the car runs and drives fine. Its not leaking any trans fluid at all.

Pan is on tight, I dont think the converter is loose because the noise is intermeitten and I cant feel any vibrations from it. Joe rode in it and he doesnrt think the converter is loose.

I have a driveshaft loop on my car and it was hitting the body for quite a while before I figured it out. Look at anything that could hit the body like the Y Pipe or connections from suspension items like the panhard bar. If it is hitting only on bumps sounds like something else other than a tranny problem...more like suspension or exhaust.

Talk to the shop and were thinking it may be exhaust. Tomorow I'm talking it to the shop that did the converter install, its a banging noise, does it on rough roads and on the freeway. Its some thing vibrating and making noise.
