I know it's not a loose cat heat shield because I've experienced that in the past with other car and that is far more noisier. The sound I hear is a bit more subtle but noticeable from the outside.

This is my first RWD car so maybe it's normal. My inspection is up next month and I plan to bring it up to the techs.
I've been getting the SAME exact sound lately on mine. And I couldn't figure out what it was. I drive a manual so I thought it was only when I engaged the clutch...but it's not. It seems to happen almost always if the car hasn't been warmed up..and I drive off immediately.. It'll continue until it's "warm". I would definitely like some clarification if anyone has come up with a cause.

The sound I'm hearing isn't the clunk or sound that the OP talked about. Mine happens while the car is already in motion and especially on turns. It just sounds like.. a little bit of a rattle like my exhaust is vibrating against the car. But I checked that. I have no idea what it is. But I've looked under the car..nothing is stuck, binding, loose, etc.
