Loud engine buzz when coasting?
Bear with me here as when it comes to mechanics I am about as much use as a c0ck flavoured lolly pop.
Driving the S2000 today, everything was propoerly warmed up, and I took my foot of of the gas with the revs at around 7.5/8k and let the engine coast, at about 6k the engine made a loud buzzing noise that I can only compare to a black and decker saw going off. It sounds like something is vibrating?
Had the car for a while now, although it is not my daily runner so it does limited miles, but I have never had this before?
No other issues, it runs fine, no pops or misfires, in every other way it is running just fine?
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Loose Exhaust Manifold Heat Shield=Same as Chainsaw Clutch Sound but Higher Pitch

Is this something that I can tackle myself, bearing in mind that I am technically inept. If it is a case of climbing under the car with a wrench, finding the bolt responsible and wrenching it tight, then I might have a go.
How do I locate the culprit......
Thanks,
