Crackling noise under the car

i have a crackling sound under my car when i drive it for a while and its like a crackiling sound but dont know what it is. When i drive it aggressively it gets even louder. Took it to the dealer but they dont know what it is.

I thought it was the cats at first but had them checked and they were ok

I mean the bolts which connet your exaust and y pipe and so on, the best way to solve it is to get it inspected.

If by "stop", you mean when the engine is not running, & the sound you hear is a tick, tick tick, it's normal. It's just normal sounds the exhaust makes when it's cooling down.
Sometimes we see these type of posts from someone who just made room in their crowded garage (prior storage area) for their cherished ride and they are not used to hearing the sounds a car makes when cooling off in a quiet environment.

I'm having the same problem. Did the dealership replace the exhaust under warranty?
