Doesn't seem to happen when accelerating straight ahead from a standing start, only turning a corner.
Sounds to be coming from the rear.

I can't remember if I posted that I have this. But I also have it, and I've been informed that it could also be the rear diff having a little bit of play where it is anchored down, and the binding caused it to 'shudder'. I noticed it about a year ago, and it generally has not developed further. Keep us posted.

Haven't checked the RPM, but is definately a tinny, harmonic sound.
Sounds like two bits of cracked metal touching, but can't seem to find it, I just live with it.

I am pretty sure that I've stated I've got something like this too...

Mine is a 'light' type at around 1250 through to 1750 rpm (very slight, hard to hear) then it comes back with a vengeance at 2500 and goes to 3000rpm It's loud and sounds like I've got got the worlds largest flying tin insect caught under the car.

(I did have a 'rattle' that was the headshield "bouncing" over the driveshaft therefore related to bumps on the road) - this other one is definitely related to engine RPM and nothing else. I have long suspected it was internal to the exhaust, and Subaru have taken the heatshields apart and found nothing. My father remains convinced it is the heatshields, or at least that I should try starting with them, but I am hoping that a spare exhaust I will have on the way to me soon will identify the source. I'll try replacing piece by piece and when I find the offending article, I'll see about fixing it.

But it is driving me NUCKING FUTS! It is the only thing about my car which I cannot stand, and once it is fixed I will once again breathe easy.
