Name That Noise

I guess I should have stated that, it's a complete stock exhaust system as of now, and I've herd of cats breaking like that but isn't the noise a constant rattle when this happens ? it only happens when I rev it quickly and high, it makes a "ting-tuh-tuh-tuh-ting" noise then shuts up as the revs come back down.
Hopefully it's just a hanger, I hate going to dealerships.

What year is your truck. 97-03 2v 5.4L's had common issues with broken studs on the passenger side manifold. causing a leak. Sounds like thin metal slapping. I've had it on both f150's Ive owned. My dads leaked, co-workers leaked.. etc. Pretty common.
Either way, have someone rev it up... while you pinpoint the sound.

That sounds real similar to and issue I have been having. I only get it on start ups when the truck high revs usually first thing in the morning. It might do it if I reved up the motor I had not tried that. Anyway I have suspected that it was coming form the drivers side cat but I thought maybe some pebbles were in the heat sheild? I just have not had the time to get down there and search yet. I only did a muffler swap so my system is basically stock.

If it wasn't the heat shields or a broken hanger, I'd probably say it's the cats. Does your exhaust smell richer than you're used to smelling? (Don't put your face up to the pipes now...) My cats are shot right now, and apart from the terrible noise, Gas mileage went down too... I gotta start working again...
