Grinding or rattling? You mentioned heat shield, which produces rattling noise, so I assume you are referring to rattling.
Heat shields on both pre-cats begin rattling when retaining bolts rust through. You either bend heat shields away from the pre-cats, or take a very large clamp and put it around both heat shields and tighten.

thank you for replying yes its hard to describe a noise it does sound a bit like it could be a rattle and i will give the bolts a once over again and see what i can find again i do appreciate the response
