Via cyberspace, and without being able to hear it, my best guess is that a heat shield on the exhaust system is loose or is bent. Have it put up on a lift to determine the exact cause.

Agreed on the muffler/heat shield noise.

I had something similar happen on a GMC pickup once. There was a strange metal rattling noise at highway speeds, around 2000-2500 RPM. Turns out it was the muffler, something was rattling inside just at that engine speed. A new muffler solved the problem.
