Update: Finally changed the muffler, and voila! - all the funny sounds stopped. Guess I was overanalyzing after all. 
Thanks for all the inputs y'all.

Click For Summary
A 1992 Honda Accord DX owner reported a rattling sound from the rear of the car, likely from the muffler, occurring during startup and at low speeds over bumps. A low hum was also noted in lower gears but not at higher RPMs. The muffler showed signs of rust, particularly at weld joints, and a bulge was observed, possibly indicating backfire damage. The owner expressed concern about replacing the muffler without confirming if other issues, like engine problems or exhaust leaks, were present. Suggestions included checking for loose parts, considering a muffler replacement, and seeking a reliable mechanic for diagnostics. Ultimately, the owner decided to replace the muffler, which resolved the noise issue, indicating that the initial concerns may have been overanalyzed.

It might cost more to take all your clothes to the dry cleaners to get those metal hangers than to just buy the bracket now. I think the dry cleaner still uses metal hangers, though I don't wear much that requires dry cleaning, so can't remember if I got metal or plastic hangers last time I used one. I need to put the hangers in my closet on birth control though. I don't know how they reproduce, but they're definitely multiplying.- #33

I would have gone to the closet, but at the time I didn't have a closet.
