I was wondering if anybody might be able to identify this sound. I have asked both mechanincs where I work (diesel truck mechanics) what the sound is and they have both said that is not piston slap or rod knock. I hear this sound in between shifts in gears 1 - 3 or if I ride at about 3K rpm's in gears 1 - 4 though it is very hard to hear in 4th gear. When the car idles the sound is not there only when I rev the engine to 3K or higher can you hear the sound. Can somebody please help me with this annoying noise??

Hear is a link to a video I took. The sound is not the greatest, but you can hear what I am talking about if you listen closely. The sound I am describing sounds like someone is sticking a card into the spokes of a bike tire.

No I don't, but my mechanic says that it is a spun rod bearing. STi short block for me I guess.
