noise started awhile ago subtle enough where mechanic couldn’t pick it up but has progressively gotten louder. Sounds like a grumble-intermittent at low rpm between 25-40mph exhaust system has already been checked for loose stuff.Next step is tranny guys unless anyone has any ideas
What model year and how many miles on your Pilot? Has there been any CEL (Check Engine Light)? Any history of problems? Would you call the noise a rattle or a rumble? It is difficult to identify a noise when you can't hear it.Model-Year ? Approximate Number Of Total Miles ?

P.S. Mechanics are sometimes the last to hear car noise problems. It’s not because of incompetence, but rather it’s working in a noisy environment that takes a toll on hearing.
Exhaust Heat Shields Were Probably Checked, But Was Attention Given Specifically To The Intermediate Shaft Shield ? There’s A Revised Shield For Some 05 - 07 Pilots.
The original shields made noises under light acceleration. The description of the noise doesn’t match your description, but I’d check it out.
