YACT: Odd sound- any idea what it is?

Sorry for the blank video..but I didn't want to look for an audio ripper..I can if anyone needs me to, though. Sound quality isn't as good as I'd like..but do you hear the rattle at low RPM? If so, what do you think it is -- loose exhaust, or something more serious? 1998 Tacoma 3.4l V6.

Hm. Ok.

I can try with the camera farther away from the truck..wonder if that would help..

I notice what you're talking about....I drive a 96 Tacoma 3.4L, I've never heard something like that, but I can't hear much over what is supposedly ticking of the injectors. 😕

Loose heat shield somewhere maybe?

Edit: It doesn't sound like an engine problem..more like something loose is vibrating.

I see you posted on TTORA too.

The post mentioning a bad cat could be a possibility too. Upstream O2 sensor is before the cat--a CEL from that sensor just means it is old, not that the cat is bad.
