Can a heat plate close to the exhaust cause a knocking sound?
Heat shields often corrode and become loose but they usually cause a tinny rattling sound. Eventually they fall off as witnessed by the dozens of them found along highways. Mechanics often remove them (with your permission) if they are loose, because they serve no purpose other than to protect the technician from a very hot catalytic converter that he/she knows not to touch anyway. A "knocking" sound, however, is more likely caused by a worn or broken exhaust hanger, allowing the exhaust system to bump the underside of the vehicle. Be sure the engine isn't causing the knocking sound, driving around a car with a knocking sound in the engine can cause MAJOR damage. Knocking from your undercarriage can also be caused by suspension components that have gone bad or are leaking fluid.
