I honestly thought it might be an exhaust header or exhaust leak when I heard it in the car driving with the cover on.
I can barely hear anything when the covers are back on. But when I was test driving the car after the rebuild I had the same noise at 2500 rpm. I couldn`t really find the source so I kept using it to see if it gets worse. It`s over 3000 miles now and I think it actually got better, I can`t hear it any more. I`ll double check it though with the covers off. If you want to do the solenoid disconnect test you can reach the left one through behind the driver seat, and the right one from above. You`ll have the CEL on, just FYI.
