It is possible to get that type noise from a CAT. Also check for any visible damage to the CAT or exhaust system if you have an SUV you take offroading. Another symptom is a funny smell like burning plastic. Another is the CAT will glow cherry red indicating temperature exceeding the standard 1200 degrees F.
