Sounds like i just got married...

[F050]

24' xlt fx4 tow package
A little over 1000 miles
Noticed this sound about 2 weeks ago, seems to kick off when i hit bump or take a sharp turn, and continue until i park vehicle. Sounds like tin cans dragging behind me. Nothing dragging on ground or vissibly loose. I dont have a garage and its wet, snowy and zero degrees so i cant really deep dive into it.
I havent done any hard driving at all, mostly just commuting to work in town and maybe 3 short trips out of town.
Dealer cant look into it for 2 weeks yet, but i have an appt.
Wonder if anyone here has any ideas?

I don’t hear any nagging!

My wife didnt start nagging until i had way more then 1000 miles on her.

Epic comeback!

Kinda sounds like an exhaust rattle somewhere.
Does the noise speed up when you accelerate?
Notice any issues with performance?

Seems to drive just fine. Noise seems generally consistent, it seems more noticeable at slower speeds but happens at higher speed too sometimes. Is there some way or somewhere i could check that? I gave exhaust a little shake by hand didnt seem to be bumping into anything or have excessive play.

I should mention sound does not happen in idle at all.

It seems to happen even at a slow enough speed. If conditions permit, I'd jack up one wheel at a time and spin it by hand and see if you can hear it. Or just bring it to the dealer and hope that whatever is wrong will be covered under warranty.

Damn Im coming coming up on 1000 miles too. Ears open.

I had a similar noise. I couldn't tell if it was coming from under the rear seat or the bed. The sound went away before I scheduled service.

See, now this is why we say if you're gonna marry your maverick, make sure it's a hybrid first. She beeps at me when pulling out... of the driveway, but beyond that, she doesn't talk back.

Could be a rock stuck behind your rotor and is rubbing on the dust shield behind. If the sound changes as you speed up or slow down I'd check there. It does have that hollow pipe sound to it though which makes me think exhaust.

could be a "Heat Shield" (exhaust-related) part..
The sound of "Loose" Metal/Tin Panel...

I've had rocks behind brake rotor dust covers and stuck between exhaust and heat shields before, both will make similar sounds. If the noise speeds up with wheel speed but doesn't change much with engine then I'd look at a rock in the brakes. If it doesn't change with speed but makes noise when revving the engine and making the exhaust vibrate, could be a heat shield.
