Could simply be a loose stone kicked up into a heat shield.

Hey Neighbor,
- Check both your Catalytic Converters Heat Shields. A temporary fix can be to crimp the 3/4" tabs back and or tack weld them.
- Check the Catalytic Converters if clogged or blocked. Usually causes a engine type knock, and or engine performance issues. Replace if needed.
- Listen to your Muffler. See if it sounds like it's coming from the Muffler. The baffles may have let go inside. Causes no issue except the noise. Replace

I had the same sound. It was a band on the heat shield by the transmission. Evidently, this is common for Ford. I was able to replace it by installing a stainless hose clamp ( I believe a 2” ) and that took care of the issue.
