shift from park, slight rattling noise during acceleration?

sometimes when i shift from park, as i pull away, if i have my window down, i can hear a slight rattle, like something is loose. i would bet that someone on this site has had this problem and would know how to fix it. (i put it in engine and drivetrain because it seems to happen in accordance with how much gas i give it, not how fast i'm going) sorry if that's confusing. scootboot69@hotmail.com

Look at your exhaust system heat shields. One may be loose.

i got under there and looked, and tugged on the shields, and they didn't budge.

Bang the converters with your hand. Internally, the catalyst can also make noise.

I had the same thing happenning for a while. Next thing I knew, at 35k, my torque converter blew. Not trying to scare you, but don't take it too lightly either.
