Well, apparently I was mistaken when I thought my GT350R would be a reliable car. So far I've had the AC stop working in the middle of summer due to a faulty ambient temperature sensor, the dual-mode exhaust system malfunction due to a seized exhaust actuator, and the engine completely replaced under warranty due to excessive oil consumption, which can be found in this thread.
My Shelby's only current known problem, which is a problem that has been plaguing it for at least a year now, is an ear-raping, soul-crushing, neck-hair-stance-causing, absolute cringe metallic buzzing sound which can be heard from inside and outside of the car when the engine is revved to 4000 rpm while the oil temperature is greater than 215F. This buzzing sound has been present before and after I had my engine replaced, so I'm fairly confident that the noise isn't from the engine. Here's an audio clip I recorded of the buzzing sound for reference: https://vocaroo.com/i/s1rY3XcqIrQM
The buzzing sound happens in neutral and in every single gear while driving, and only between 3800 and 4200 rpm and only when the car is warmed up enough for the oil temperature to be greater than 215F. The dealership service center where I have my car repaired has yet to figure out the cause of this horrid metallic buzzing sound, so I'm posting about it here to raise awareness and in the hopes that someone might have some ideas as to what would cause a sound like this in a GT350R. I did some digging and read about some other GT350 owners that have had similar issues, but I haven't found anything definitive on a potential cause. I know it's hard to guess at the cause of a sound just from an audio clip and a description, but if anyone out there has any ideas as to what this is then I'd definitely be appreciative of hearing them, because this buzzing sound is driving me fucking insane. Sorry for the rant.
