It may not make any sound at all. It may also rattle or you may hear a blowing sound when you accelerate. Symptoms of a bad converter are loss of power, poor fuel mileage, stalling, hard to start, and a bad smell.

A foul smell is the most common sign of a bad catalytic converter. If you smell what seems to be a rotten egg and it gets stronger over time, the catalytic converter is not working properly. A large drop in your fuel economy may be a sign that your catalytic converter is going bad or is blocked. A lack of power, especially at high speeds, may be a sign that the catalytic converter is going, or has gone, bad.A vehicle that stalls during idle, or idles rough, may have a blocked or bad catalytic converter. Your catalytic converter may be blocked if you experience bucking or hesitation while trying to accelerate. Additionally, your vehicle may run at a higher than normal temperature. A catalytic converter typically doesn't go bad without an underlying cause. A mechanic should be able to find the original problem and may not have to replace the converter.
