2001 E430 Exhaust Rattle?

2001 E430
94,xxx miles

Upon arriving home from work last night I noticed a rattle that sounded like a loose heat shield, however, I cannot determine whether it is in the front, near the transmission or the back, near the muffler. Seems the exhaust (or drive train?) is rattling in some way.

It occurs most noticeably in idle/park at low rpms; and when I was braking to turn into a parking space. Revving tends to quiet it.

My assumption is a loose heat shield or exhaust hangar. Any other thoughts?
