Knocking noise!

A noise has developed worse tonight from beneath my car.
The noise comes from pretty much below the hand break lever in the centre of the car.
It is a knocking tapping noise heard for when going slow like 30mph and or over bumps :/

Not aware of a kurb earlier and because my car is low I reversed and hit the back box on the kurb.
Dont know if the exhaust has been pushed in a bit and knocking in the mid section now.
Tried to look under tonight but it's dark and the pipe/box was a tad hot.

Anyone shed any lights

Thanks a lot

Does sound like that it'll be the exhaust knocking as thats pretty much the only thing thats gonna run under the handbrake as you say.

If a couple of the mounting brackets are bent from the encounter with the kerb, its quite possible!
