Default Vibration and noisy engine

I have a 1996 Honda Accord LX 101893miles on it. Lately, the engine feels louds and produce grrrr sound at certain rpm. I wonder how I can correct this and make it revs smoother without grrrr noise. Thanks.

Wrap a steel hose clamp around the catalytic converter shield and tighten liberally. They develop broken welds on the top where you can't see them. While you're at it check the rest of the exhaust shields for loose/missing bolts and broken welds also.
