Vibrating sound coming from rear of car

When i give my car throttle in first or second and third gear I here pretty loud vibrating sound coming from the rear of the car. It disappears if i keep my foot on the throttle but if I give quick gas I hear vibration coming from the rear. Any ideas what this vibrating sound coming from the rear of the car could be?

It could be an exhaust resonance of some kind. Check under the car. Is anything (a heatshield?) loose or does any part of the exhaust look like it's touching the underside of the car? Bang on the muffler with your fist. Is there a loose baffle inside it?

Hell, could be anything... parts of the suspension, jack and other tools not secure, etc...

Is it a metallic noise? I've got it as well and it's the exhaust muffler vibrating..I've gotta get under there and make sure it's on properly..so check that first..

..and I think the universal joints are right next to the angular joints..
