Have only been out in the car a couple of times, but did remember to try this both before and after a journey, and it doesn't produce the sound.

I checked every heat shield and they all seem secure enough, and also made sure everything else was secure.

I also have another suggestion worth considering. When I was out on Friday, I had the windows down to get some cool air in, and happened to drive along a stretch of road with a long wall next to it. To my surprise, I heard the odd noise being reflected off the wall (confirmed by easing off the pedal). Later on I was looking through ETKA for something, and came across an image which shows a bearing supporting the rear prop shaft. If this were worn, is it possible that this could be causing the noise?

Only thing is, I don't recall seeing anything like it when I was last under the car.
