Default Noise under car?

OK recently, I've been hearing a weird noise under my car. It sounds like a metal to metal *click*. Sounds like a solenoid click, or like bad CVs (but not the grinding like sound that CV's make). The car isn't that old and i don't hear the sounds all the time. I also don't hear it while turning. I only hear it sometimes while driving at low speeds (15mph-20mph i guess). I jecked up the car checked under there didn't see any cracks in the boots or anything. I'd like to think it's just something that got caught under there but I REALLY don't see what it could be. Might check it out more thoroughly tomorrow. Anyone know if this could be something serious, or could it just be that a dropped something in my engine bay that's rattling around?

Yah same thing here. I know what a heat shield rattle sounds like cause mine was rattling last nite. This is a distinct *CLICK* and it souns like it's coming from either the suspension, or the axles. Jacked up the car yesterday to do my oil change and didn't notice anything funky, although it was kinda hard to see since I did it at nite.
