Default Strange idle/low speed sound

Just today my car has started to make a sound similar to when the lifters get a little chatter with low oil, but this sound has more bass content to it. It seems to only happen when I'm either idling or driving at low speeds under about 20mph. I parked the car and left it running to see if I could find where the sound is coming from, which seems to be the driver's side about middle to lower back of the engine bay. Anyone have any ideas as to what this may be or that I should check?

Default Exhaust manifold leak???

Someone recently posted a similar issue. Check your EM to see if everything is torqued up properly.

Default I checked it and everything is tight...

The sound seems to come from the right back of the engine while standing in front of the car. Inside the car the sound is almost in the center. What should I check next?
