Faint buzzing sound

[Fountainhead]

Sounds like to me when the engine is pulling a load the engine shifts slightly just enough to make contact occur between two adjacent parts. I have heard others say it's the clutch line touching something on the way down? On my car I hear it around my knees/feet, but I seldom rev that high so it's not a pressing issue for me. It is irritating though.

It’s driving me nuts. I usually drive around 3000-3500 rpm and it’s just there. Sounds metallic and it’s coming for the driver’s engine bay.

so far this is what my mechanic did:
-check all heat shields
-suggested that it was the q300 due to harmonics, so I changed to the Oem catback
-checked the lines

The exhaust shop thinks it could be the hasport 62a rear mount. I don’t have a chance to switch it to the Oem yet but I don’t think that’s the problem

My noise doesn't occur until around 4.5 to 5K and above in normal traffic I see no need to rev that high in 1st or 2nd lol. I usually shift at the same point you do. But mine is quiet at those rpms.
And my car is utterly bone stock, because when I sell it it won't have a strong "race car usage" aroma, lol. People are naturally suspicious of rice looking cars like ours anyway and I don't want to give them any excuse to lowball me on trade/sale.
My point being mine does it with OE only so I don't think it's your exhaust...but do you remember the noise occurring before the new exhaust?

it certainly could be the rear motor mount as those tend to give off more nvh.

Mine sounds like a heat shield rattling but under the car nothing seems to be loose.
