Can anyone identify muffler sound?

Just curious...

I first thought something was loose. Checked all the screws and can't find anything. That rattling sound on deceleration appears to be coming from the exhaust hole where the air leaves. We didn't test the pipe with soap and water, but the sound is not coming from the pipe or the end where it attaches to the engine. It still accelerates great and mileage is normal, although sometimes when starting the engine light will come on and then the RPMs drop and acceleration hesitates when giving throttle. Next time this happens, I will make a video, but an ECU reset seems to cure this issue until the next time it happens. I assume it's the fluctuating heat and humidity but, if there is a problem with the muffler, it could be that as well.
I think what I'm going to do is order a replacement exhaust since it takes Scooter Lounge like two weeks to get Buddy parts. If anyone of you have seen my previous posts, I've had ongoing issues with exhaust noises, check engine light coming on and my rear brake assembly vibrating and locking up the wheel (got those parts finally by the way). I think it makes sense to now just replace all of this before something really fails and the scooter isn't useable.
