2000 Coupe - Curious noise from back

Hi all,

I keep hearing noise from the back (underneath) on my 2000 Coupe.  The noise is upon take off from about 15 mph to about 35-40 mph.  The sound is similar to coins inside a tin can (rolling on floor).

While washing the car over the weekend, I sprayed the back bottom side and hit the mufflers which had a similar sound.  Could it be that one of them is loose?  My worst case fear is the rear-end/differential, but I do not note a difference in performance (the take off).

I'll be looking underneath for loose parts this weekend, but thought I'd post to see if anyone has experienced something similar.

In front of the rear axle on both exhaust pipes there is a flange
connection, may be loose, doubtful. In front of those, in the middle,
under the drive shaft, is a spring loaded suspension bracket for both
pipes, check that. That's if it is a stock muffler setup, if it's an
aftermarket set they have slip joints that do come loose above the
swing axles.

I had a similar issue with a Camaro.  After the dealer replaced many
parts, it was discovered that the muffler baffles were loose.  A new
muffler solved the problem.

When the mufflers are cold. Pound your fist on them and see if they
make the noise. May be the baffles in the mufflers rusted out or came
loose

I tried what you did, but I could not relate to the same noise I am hearing.
I'll try looking at what Dad mentioned, but continue to keep the muffle in
mind.

Thanks all,
