Do you have a y-pipe? That could be the buzzing noise.

Yeah my car makes this noise when the car is all warmed up and it happens at about 2500 rmp, and goes away right after that. I have a warpspeed y-pipe and that's it for exhuast mods.

I'm going to do the Dave B mod and see if that helps anything cuz it's getting on my nerves.

Yeah you're describing exactly what I have. It's kind of a relief because no one else was having this problem when I posted the same issue earlier in this thread;
http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=354776

The Dave B mod is pretty ghetto, but it's basically just holding the y-pipe with a metal strap so it doesn't vibrate so much, here's the thread for the Dave B mod; http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=310324

As far as I can tell, this is not the bees in a can noise. The bees in a can noise occurs at all rpms all the time due to an exhaust leak in the flex section of the y-pipe. Hope this helps, and if you do the Dave B mod before me, post and tell how it went or send me a PM and I'll do the same for you if I do it first.
