Most catalytic converters make a repetative dinging sound when you first start up the car or when you stop the car. This is due to the expansion and contraction of the different materials and it's normal.
If the sounds are more like clanging noise, you should look under your car for loose fasteners.
If the noises are really loud, check for corrosion on the muffler, the catalytic converter, and the exhaust pipes.
Hope that helps.
If not, please provide more details of the noise, when the noise occurs, and if the noises can be consistently reproduced. Also provide the environmental conditions.
