Making this it's own thread it started in the RT: AE thread but now that I have more updates I thought it would make sense to create it's own thread
To recap, once is started being cold the car started making a strange noise that goes on for a few minutes and then completely goes away. It never happens on the streets only highway so speed is a likely factor, it doesn't always happen right away, I could be traveling for 2-3 minutes at the same speed before it happens or it might happen almost immediately upon accelerating. It doesn't seem to be linked to acceleration as steady speed driving also triggers it. There is nothing about the car that feels off, it doesn't feel low on power, steering doesn't feel sluggish, etc...
There is a post with a recording of it here and the actual link to the recording itself is here
New info:
This happened again, the lights were off, turning A/C on/off did nothing, happens both on and off the throttle and seemingly in any gear (I tested 4,5 and 6) and at any engine revs, disengaging the clutch doesn't make a difference at all, neither is revving the engine with the clutch disengaged. Interestingly putting the car in neutral does make the noise go away, which makes no sense since there should be no functional difference between neutral and disengaged clutch.
