dropped bike

I just accidentally dropped my bike. Thankfully my pride appears to be hurt more than the bike. The throttle got scuffed as well as the mirror. Part of the front brake cracked off. When I went down, my leg cushioned the fall causing only minor scraps to the exhaust. The damage really doesn't look all that bad. However, as I was riding home from the crash I noticed that the bike didn't sound ride. At lower speeds I noticed something similar to feedback from a speaker coming from the exhaust. Any ideas as to what this noise could be?

Check the muffler clamps. You could have tweaked it a bit. Welcome to the club. "There are those who have (dropped their bike) and those who will."
