Odd noise at 5-6000rpm

[weebob]

Hello,

Wasn't sure which section to put this as im unsure if the noise is coming from the engine itself or something behind the dash.

Kind of sounds like a playing card attached to a bike (flapping against the spokes) if you know what I mean, like a "brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" noise like something is flapping out, only does it at 5000 rpm till about 6000 rpm.

Intailly I thought it was something to air intake, it all looks plumbed together properly, Is it worth checking there is something rattling around in the air box?

Cheers

Not a bad shout with the airbox but something else to check will be the undertray and associated parts (ie, the small splitter-type parts in front of the wheels under the bumper). Have had a few bits break on mine due to reversing off high kerbs etc and they've been flapping/dragging.

I shall have a gander

After I got my car back from the Service, Arnold Clark put inspection tags on the Driveshafts that bug the shite outta me!
Might be worth checking that too!

It's not like a wheel out of balance is it ?

Doesn't seem to be anything underneath thats lose. It only does it when you hit a certain rev range, speed doesnt really matter or which gear im in at the time.

still to check the airbox
