Default 2002 Honda Accord weird noise (video)

The noise is coming from under where the exhaust system is. I'm not really sure what it is, but if I turn on my Ac and the fan turns on that's when it goes louder. When I accelerate the noise goes away but quickly comes back after I stop accelerating. If the AC is off the noise is still there, but not as strong. In the video, the AC is on. When I changed my oil, the noise went away. But it's back now after 1.5k miles.

What can I do to fix the problem?

Well yeah I know that. But I need to know what is exactly causing the noise and if I'm going to need a new exhaust etc.

Did you check the catalytic converter heat shield?

Yeah, that's where the noise is coming from.

i have almost the same problem...whenever my clutch is out and in neutral just idling or while under load it makes a weird almost rattle...but when i push the clutch in the noise goes away...i had the clutch replaced less than 10000 miles ago...could it be the guy did it wrong? i am only posting this question here because it will not allow me to make threads on my own...as i am a new member. any comments or advice would be great.

it's hard to take the shiled off because it's all welded together :/ If you have a plasma cutter you could get rid of that shield like presto!!
