My guess would be a kinda foul smell coming from around where it is, but I have absolutely no idea mate sorry

it would sometimes rattle like **** coz the baffle would be either loose or completely broken and just banging around on the inside

A catalytic oxidizer, or catalytic converter, is an automobile component found in the exhaust system. It oxidizes (burns) carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons, using platinum and palladium/rhodium as catalysts, while reducing (separating the oxygen atom rather than adding it) nitrogen oxides to create nitrogen. This greatly reduces toxic tailpipe emissions and reduces smog. The catalyst bed is usually in the form of either honeycombed ceramic or ceramic beads covered in the catalyst.

The smell of rotten eggs - a continuous burning-sulphur smell - usually indicates a problem in the catalytic converter
