Front End Vibration (Metal on Metal)
Hello, I have a 2017 Ram 1500. Over the last few months I’ve noticed a vibration noise getting progressively worse at low speeds. It’s happening when cruising and not going over bumps. If I cruise between 13-15mph I will hear it. If I’m slowly breaking I’ll hear it from 25mph to 11mph. It doesn’t happen when switching gears. Here are the things I’ve checked: heat shields, exhaust, engine, motor mounts, exhaust manifold, suspension (upper and lower control arm, strut mount, sway bars and links and ball joints).
Here is a video to help you hear the noise. It occurs at 4-6 seconds in and continues Please ignore the squeaky breaks.

What did this turn out to be? I have the same noise.

The noise I heard in the video posted by the original poster sounds like a heat shield of some sort rattling. My guess would be either a catalytic converter heat shield or maybe a heat shield mounted to an exhaust manifold or possibly mounted to the body near the exhaust.
