I've heard some others say its because the engine is under strain, but it really shouldn't happen if the whole point of being in 6th gear is to save on fuel.
I am trying to find a sound clip that I can reproduce the noise and I hope someone might have had a similar noise. My warranty runs out next month need to get it fixed if it gets worse after June. Toyota has said if its a major issue it doesn't matter if the warranty expires it can be fixed at the manufactures cost.
I actually heard a similar sound from the game GTA 1 back in 1997 so I'm trying to pull the sound effect and dump it on youtube for others to here.
Please let me know if anyone had this issue.

If it a high pitcged metalic soumd like rocks in a tin can then its like knock. Australian fuels are pretty crap and western aistralian fuel seems bad. You are running a premium brand 98 like shell or bp, and not Costco or something ?
