A friend of mine with a 30 coupe had vibration at a certain rpm, it sounded to me that it was the wood around the rear window. Maybe worth checking.

Sychro99,

Your idea of having someone stand on the side of the road to listen for the noise reminded me of an old time mechanic when I was a kid. He used to ride on the running board to listen for noises! Not advisable these days but manybe a friend could open the door and lean out to listen for the noise.

I recall a while back someone had loose radiator support rods that were causing an allusive noise.

My dad put me out along a road to listen and look for a tire that was flapping
Middle child of five, I was wondering if he was going to come back and pick me up :-( he did :-)

Just a thought, those hood props can make a lot of noise if they are loose on the radiator support rods.

I almost NEVER found Minervas' pesky rattle noise. It was a loose wood piece, behind the R/H quarter window. Punched a small hole & "injected" some Insulating Foam & QUIET!

Thanks guys, you’ve made my day by making me laugh. I’m surprised that nobody suggested insulting a bunch of kids on a street corner, and yelling out and asking if any of them heard a noise as they chased your car.

I "endured" a new rattle for 4 DAYS, until I discovered I didn't tighten one, (1) windshield adjusting KNOB---LOL

A rattle I finally found, ended up being a very loose gas tank clamp way under the dash rail.

I can get this sound with the car in neutral by just revving the engine.

Check that the fan blades are all straight and even, and/or try running the engine w/the fan belt removed as suggested in post #17.
