Default Weird noise

Hey guys. Ive noticed a weird drone/vibration coming from my truck and about 2000 rpms, while accelerating. Its annoying. Does anyone have any ideas? my first thought is an exhaust leak? Maybe? ...help?

You have a cold air intake? They tend to resonate around that rpm level. If not, check your stock intake for leaks/holes.

It could be your exhaust rubbing some where or leaking or it maybe u-joints or rear end...?

it sounds like its right below me as im driving. Im going to bring it to an exhaust shop after the weekend. I had the cats changed out a couple weeks ago, im guessing they suck at welding.

is it only when your accelerating? is it through a wide range of speeds or only at 2000 and are you sure its coming from under you or is it coming more from the rear end? You could just need t grease the slip joint or it could be something along the lines of a pinion bearing if so
