I have noticed this noise when I am crusing at around 1200-1500 RPM, usually going pretty slow when I have noticed the noise. I cant hear it from inside, but with my windows down, I can hear it pretty well. Im not sure if something is loose, or if it is a more serious issue. Has anyone had this problem??

Check to make sure none of the heat shields are loose, does it sound like metal on metal rattling?

It's a pretty common issue. These things only have about bazillion separate shields underneath where the hardware rusts away causing noise. I don't know of anyone who has encountered problems from removing the piece(s). I have removed all of them.

Both of my pathfinders had heat shield rattles. Super easy to fix.
