A failed muffler or broken exhaust pipe means more than just an embarrassingly loud vehicle.

There are other signs of exhaust problems than a noisy exhaust note:
--Vibration: Loose exhaust hangers or other hardware can cause an annoying vibration, which sometimes only shows itself at idle
--Rattles: These same problems with hangers and hardware can cause a mechanical-sounding rattle as well as vibration
