Default rattle noise

hi all ok im on holiday at the moment and thinking not to drive my car back as it has a rattle noise coming from rear of exhaust,here a sound clip i just took.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ezI4mBYQ7Y

i had a full de-cat exhaust on 6 months ago, and have had no problem. i drove the car 170 miles to a holiday resort left the car parked up for two days, and started it today. the sound is not there when the car has been started, as it idle at high revs, but as the revs start to lower this rattle noise comes.

ive checked the rubbers all seem good and aslo tryed to move exhaust while it is started but sound still there. is it safe to drive 170 miles back home? or what eles could i check thanks

Sounds like something knocking/rubbing rather than a serious mechanical issue. I wonder if some silly sod shoved some pebbles in to the tail pipe!!??
