Does the noise go away when you depress the clutch pedal ? If you can get the car in the air take a tape measure or piece of wire or string and go around the heat shield on the cats. Take that length to HD or Lowes or local hardware store and get a SS band clamp of correct size. Tighten around heat shield/pipe if the rattle goes away you know what it is. Not suggesting that as a long term fix just for diagnosis.
