When running makes a jingle noise I can't find what it's coming from.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

The most common cause is either a heat shield on the exhaust or even the catalytic converter. Inside the catalytic converter the components come loose and rattle.

Take a rubber mallet and tap on the exhaust to see if you can recreate the sound. Do this and let me know what you find.

Take care,
Joe
