Default noise/sound after going over speed bump hard. need help, too hot outside to figure

Well today i was in somewhat of a hurry and i went over a speed bump quite hard. the front tires went over then right after the under carriage hit the bump hard with a thump.

Now I notice a kinda metallic sounding rubbing sound coming as i drive. When the car is parked idling, there is no sound. As i press on the gas the sound comes back as the car rolls.

I looked under all sides in 110 degree weather burning my knees on the ground, and still cant pinpoint why its making this sound.


I thought I hit something and something came loose but I dont see anything.


Does anyone have any idea what it can be??


Please let me know. It would be of great help.

Thanks,

Hmmm... I wonder if there are any exhaust heat shields under the car that you might have hit.
