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 knocking sound from a bad catalytic converter often resembles a rattling or metallic clanging noise, especially when accelerating or idling. This sound can occur due to internal components, such as the catalyst substrate, breaking loose or becoming damaged. Additionally, if the converter is clogged, it may produce a more pronounced thumping sound as exhaust gases struggle to pass through.
