weird noise *help*

so im drivin home from SF this afternoon
i noticed 1st and 2nd gear sort of rattle a bit but this goes away after drivin a bit

i hvae no problems on the freeway (btw, hi to all those subies who waved at me)

i get home and turn off the car, this noise comes from the engine/underneath me, exactly like knocking/rattling noise

does it only when i turn the car off and on, almost like something is bumping against something, but it seems like it could be worse than that
help me please

no cel's or anything

Did you check to make sure your exhaust hasn't broken a mounting bracket?

I noticed a click sometimes, it seems to come from the front driver's side wheel well but only when I'm romping on the gas. Unfortunately I have no fixes because I can't make it do it consistently enough to go see a technician.

chaning the oil right now b/c it was below the E

i noticed that heat shield, enxt to the exhaust manifold is just sitting there, not a single screw holding it in place
hopefully this is it

does the engine shake enough to move this thing back and forth?
