Is this engine sound familiar to anybody?

'05 Limited 2wd V6 GR-FE engine

I've got a vibration sound that happens both when the A/C is on and off. It seems to be increasing over time, in that it used to only be noticeable at idle, now it also is noticeable throughout acceleration. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I had the exhaust system checked out, with nothing noted there.

Forgive my thumb in the vid.

Has to be

Something related to a guard, maybe the exhaust manifold shield? It's a rattle from the sounds of it.

agreed, I had the same problem. I ended up talking the heat shield off of my driver side rear cat and when i pulled it off, there were a couple of rocks stuck in there. now that annoying sound is gone
