4runner Ticking/buzzing sound from underneath

Topic starter

I have a 2016 Toyota 4runner SR5 4x4 with 61,000 miles. 

I am hearing a ticking/buzzing sort of a noise coming from underneath the car when its running. I am worried because of where the noise is coming from. Possibly the transmission or the exhaust system, exhaust manifolds etc. I have checked the heat shields that I can see and they seem secure. I have uploaded a video to youtube with the noise. Please let me know what you think!!!

Thank you to Scotty or anyone that gets back to me!

Scotty just posted this video about the same noise on the same car.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Not great news but hopefully it's the exhaust leak. I will look into it and see what I find. Thanks again.

The car sounds kinda loud to me as well. More than likely an exhaust leak with a gasket flopping around. Stuff a rag into the exhaust (when the car is COLD) and feel around the exhaust pipe and headers for exhaust leaks.

I would use a mechanic's stethoscope to pinpoint the sound. Sometimes a long screwdriver against your ear will work too.
