It only makes the noise in drive, the noise sound like metal vibrating agianst metal, like a heat shield virating, it starts around 25mph and stops around 35 mph, i cant figure it out, it almost sounds likr the noise is going through the exhaust or it sounds like the driveshaft.

Yes, you have precats. Its a heat shield,or something loose. Nothing major most likely, but get under and tap or push on stuff.
