    Then you can test the water pump with techstream...
    I don't know if you can check the oil pump also, if you can, great!
    Uphill noise? MMM I dare say possibly a bearing in the transmission. Hard to diagnose through here....
    But possibly another head shield with help of the light angle. I would check all you can reach.
    Things like that are a royal pain to find!

    i checked all the exhaust shields more than 4 times and the noise coming from passenger side so i doubt that its transmission bearing. I am going to try to record the noise tomorrow with my gopro

    I have uploaded the audio file on the drive. it mainly comes from the passenger side. Noise only comes when i am driving and sometime comes if its on ramp in my garage.

    Sounds just like a bad A/C compressor. When you downloaded this sound clip, at what mode was the HVAC set?

    Sounds the shield around the exhaust. Or maybe the exhaust weld broke inside the pipe.
    Maybe give it a smack with the hammer... :)

    According to that video, the catalytic converter has a broken internal baffle.

    wouldnt that cause engine light to be illuminated. I found the catalytic converter shield has one mount that is rusted out. I bought some clamps so i ll work on it tomorrow and see if it solves it.

    its the exhaust shield. Will know tomorrow if it is that tho

    I stand corrected! Gimmi a break! I’m retired and easily lose track of time and space.
