Buzzing at 2.5k rpm

So recently I started noticing under some load, in 6th gear at around 2.5k rpm it made an odd buzz, once past the noise is gone.

Its not always there, but its there more often than not.

Started making some in other gears too, 3rd.

uploaded a video. What do you guys think? something loose?

What mods do you have? Automatic transmission? It could be the front pipe rubbing.

Yep, I reckon something is lose.

Most likely either a part of the exhaust is lose or vibrating against something else.

I'd suggest you put it up on a rack and tighten all exhaust bolts/nuts and pry the exhaust away from anything it looks like it is too close to.
