Default Rattle under car

I have a rattle under the car that is unsettling. It makes a rattle whenever i shift or rev the motor slightly. It started after I went through the gears, 1, 2, 3 up to 5k. Any thoughts?

jack the car up and with a rubber mallet tap on exhaust and listen for rattles....if you still have cat's could be those or heat shields..if not look for any piping to be touching or rubbing on the body or suspension components
