weird sound when i revvup
Hi, i wanted to do my homework before i ask you guys, but can't really think of a word describe my sound. It only happens when i am revving up starting from around 4k, and it sounds like a ball rolling in a metal pipe or buzzing. it doesn't sound when i am driving low rpm, or even in highway. The car has high flow cat installed by previous owner,and the sound is coming from the back not the engine.

Only at or above 4K? Do you hear anything if you just roll? Metal ball in a pipe/buzzing would make me check wheel bearings first.

Maybe it's the sound of schoolgirls getting wet from your exhaust tone.

Starts from 4k ish. And when I shift it doesn't sound until it reaches 4k in next gear.And I drove today and buzzing is closer word for description than ball rolling sound

You could check the bearings. There isn't much in the back end that would explain sounds at certain RPM.

You know how to check them, right? Just checking so you don't start throwing parts at it.
