I had a similar sound and it was a heat shield that came loose. But not sure if that is your issue.

Not sure what that sound is, but check the heat shield above the muffler. Mine had rattled since I got my Jeep every time I closed the rear tailgate. Then I noticed a rattle at idol. When I finally got fed up with it, I checked that shield and it was no longer being held up by the bolts and was just sitting on top of the muffler. I pulled it out and never replaced it. For a while after I removed it I would check how hot things got in the storage in the back, but wasn't anything to be concerned with for me.
