W203 C320 Noise Under Car - Low Speeds - Video - Need Help!

Hi Guys,

Today my car came across an issue at low speeds. It is a 2003 C320
I hear the noise coming from below the car and its a clicking/knocking noise.

I hear it at low speeds. When driving normally I dont hear it. But when I get ready to park I hear it parking and even when I am in park

Any ideas what it could be?

Please see the video:

I agree with cm60k. Sounds like the exhaust pipe is vibrating against something......or you are driving a very old diesel...lol

UPDATE:

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!

It turned out to be the catalytic converters.
They were also causing misfires and problems accelerating.

I got both catalytic converters replaced and the car is running beautifully again!
