Very loud clacking noise when in movement. Maybe AWD differential?

Hello guys, I hope all is well.

I've been having some very loud noises coming from under my Volvo. It is a S60 2003 2.5T AWD. I believe it could be from the differential, but not sure. Have you heard this before? It seems to be tied to the speed.

Just recorded two videos of the noise on my phone. What do you think?

The car has 210K KM. Let me know any other information that might prove useful. It is not on 100% of the time, but it comes quite often.

Thank you! Slowly working hard to make this car not die.

Loose brake shield. Muffler bracket.

Volvo horns to you!

Yes, get that bracket fixed.

Volvo sells a repair bracket just for that. You may have to grind the broken one off to fit the repair part. That just clamps around the pipe.
