vibration/rattle when accelerating slowly Sign In

My wife's 2006 Odyssey with ~150k has a slight vibration/rattle noise. It occurs when driving on level ground up to about 40 mph when I give it just a little gas - accelerate slowly or try to maintain speed. Giving it slightly more or less gas makes it go away; otherwise I can make it happen consistently. It is similar to a loose heat shield rattle, but the underside was checked carefully by my independent mechanic and he found nothing loose. Honda couldn't find anything either. I observed that giving it gas results in the noise after having it at the shops. The sound pre-dates the most recent tire rotation. Any thoughts?

It could have a broken Catalytic Converter.

Among the may- bees is exhaust stuff. Bump tail pipe with a rubber hammer - you might just find something. Have fixed that with worm clamps but would need to see it,
