Growling/Bubbling Noise from under car/Exhaust
Noise is most prevalent when idling. Seems to do away when accelerating and then comes after a few seconds after idling. Completely stumped. Noise is most prevalent underneath driver's side.

Thanks everyone for the responses. I agree that exhaust leak sounds likely. I wasn't able to easily identify from where but taking to exhaust place on Tuesday to have it looked it. Will post update!

Gville350 is right, exhaust leak under the Y pipe heat shield is a common problem that fits your noise. I'm surprised you haven't been experiencing a check engine light with codes P0420 or P0430 though.

Yes, also surprised no engine light. I checked OBDII to see if there were any pending codes and nothing.
I just had muffler shop look at it and they said it is indeed a leak after the cat in both pipes where the clamp for the heat shielding is. Likely a result of the salt on the roads from all those years in Chicago. Thankfully down in FL now so should be good after the fix.
They quoted me $185 to fix both pipes.
