Weird Noise When Car Is Warmed Up....

2001 Acura CL-S 179K. When the car is cold there is no noise. Drive for 15 minutes let it sit for a couple and start it up a weird vibrating/scraping noise is heard. Doesn't happen at idle, only between 1500-2500rpm. Noise makes in reverse and drive, but not park. Any ideas?

I think you should follow the clue that noise does not happen in Park. Catalytic converter is pretty expensive to just R&R without proper diagnostic!

Heat shield, or possibly an axle is on its way out. Mine made a similar noise for months then one day the axle broke and after replacing it, the noise went away. I agree it's better to diagnose then to just throw parts at it. It can be very time consuming and expensive. I hope this helps!
