I'm not doubting you, but a lot of people confuse normal exhaust note with drone. Drone is a resonant sound that happens within the car itself and you basically "feel it" in your skull at a specific engine speed. You would experience it at any speed that corresponds to your current gear hitting the specific RPM that coincides with the resonant frequency. It is *very* annoying.

Is the drone you're referring to coming from the exhaust (rear of the car) or is it actually resonating within the car itself?
