hi guys I've just recently noticed this a few days ago! any opinions on what this may be?

there is a tinging/rattling noise most prominent at the muffler.

There is supposed to be a rubber damper mounted on a bolt that goes through the rear section of the exhaust.

Check to see if it has fallen off of the rubber has become brittle and failing to do its job.

Other possibilities include rocks between the exhaust tip ornament and tailpipe, exhaust hangers saggy, noise from the flexible joint at the exit of the DPF.

Use your boot and try to hold it still and see if it stops. The rest you may need to check with the car raised.
