Absolutely no way to tell you. Could be anything.

Poke the catylitic converter with a stick a few times and listen if you can hear anything rattling around in there.

If it growls at you, stop poking it; they usually don't like to be poked. It could also be some sort of mechanical part, perhaps the muffler bearings.

Re: Car making loud noises!
Any reason you suspect the convertor? Your sound has to be a moving part, I would think, unless it is a heat shield rattle or something. The only external moving parts are belt driven. Take a look there while it is running, and see if the belt tensioner is jumping around, or any pulleys seem to be wobbling. That would be the first step. Let us know.

Might have lost a rocker arm? Vacuum test needed. Runs sluggish? Sounds like a dead cylinder. Need to find out why.

Re: Car making loud noises!
Make sure all the plug wires are pushed on all the way. It may be missing if the mech didn't get the wires on tight after the tune-up. I think your noise might just be from the shake of the misfire, not the cause, but we gotta figure it out.
