I tried to search the forum pages to see what it might be and saw a few posts about exhaust hangers, brake lines rattling, exhaust seals, and heat shield. Do any of these sound like the likely culprit in my case? Here's a video of the noise:

I'm going to be jacking up the car this afternoon to take a peek so hoping someone may be able to provide some insight before then. Thank you!
Check the heat shields on the exhaust. Sounds like that’s all it is. Sometimes they’re hard to see where the break is but yours should be easy to find. Can either remove it altogether or haywire or use some hose clamps to snug it down.
