Default Unusual engine noise

quick question,

Today under hard acceloration, my engine made a noise like it had bad gas in it. Never had this before. I tried to reproduce it once more, but could not do it. What would cause this. It wasnt a pinging noise, sounded like a bunch of marles rattling ina can. Lasted only for a second

maybe part of your cat converter went bad, and broke apart, and tinged pinged out the exhaust.
