Default steady popping noise?

this morning when i took off to work, got about halfway there and started hearing this popping noise from about 35mph down to about 10mph...

its not really distinguished to one side of the vehicle or the other, sounds like its coming from under neath... almost sounds like loose u joint popping but i checked and there all tight...

i noticed when i first take off i hear nothing and the noise gets louder to a certain point then drive alittle longer and i hear a squealing noise as i slow to a stop in neutral using no brake help...

oh and not sure if it makes a noise while driving cause exhaust is to loud but i can definantly hear it as i slow down in neutral..

any ideas?

Sounds like it could be back pressure?

Nice! Easy fix - My rear left tire once magically lost all of its lug nuts.
