some ticking noise

some of my friends said that when i am just putting along at idle, my car makes this popping noise that sounds like its coming from the back of the car. i don't know if this is the exhaust or the rear end. i can hear it bouncin off walls and things that are close to the road when i drive it. does anyone have any suggestions to what it is???

Hard to tell what a sound is from a written description, but it could be that a heatshield has loosened up a bit. If it makes the noise while you are sitting stoped just get down on the ground and listen around until you can tell where its coming from. I highly doubt its something inside the rearend though.
