Post 98 accord bearing+rod noise?!?

Hey Guys,

Can anyone tell me if this is most likely rod bearing knocking? At first I thought it was a knocking noise but now that I listen again it sounds more like a vibration. 98 accord EX 2.3L 270K miles automatic. Rear seal has a leak :{

Are you able to attach a video? Or a link to one of the sound?

Check your exhaust shielding.

It should have a solid machine gun sound, and it goes away on rev. Not linked to RPM how is that possible? right? I do not think it is rod or bearing.

I agree, doesn't sound like rod knock. Sound like a plastic bouncing/rubbing/knocking against something. But as said above, could be exhaust item that is loose and knocking around. Can you put it on jack stands or a ramp or even drive it up on a curb and get under it while running to see if you can see what's loose?
