Dragging Muffler Noise... but no dragging muffler!!

I've been hearing a high pitch rattle at low coasting speeds for a week or so, sort of sounded like a few screws getting shaken around in a glass jar, but a little higher pitch and a little "tinsle-y".
Today, driving home i hear a "ccrrrhhhh" from the front right wheel well and it sounds like part of my muffler is dragging. I get out of the car and there's nothing hanging down or dragging. I'm only about 2 miles from home so i decide to try to make it... driving real slow.
The sound continues on the way home, except when i get some speed, there appears to be no/less noise. At times the noise changed from dragging muffler to high pitch screach, and then back to dragging muffler.
Any thoughts are welcomed (and in your diagnosis, can you tell me if driving the car with what you think the problem is could have caused more damage).
Thanks!!
