Question

Need Advice: Noise at low RPM's

Hey all - I have been hearing a low mettalic-sounding buzzing noise coming from the engine bay at low RPM's (under 2200 rpm) especially when in 2nd or 3rd gear. The noise is especially present when going up a hill, or when I am at very low RPM's, but oddly never in 1'st gear...The model is a '92 SC300 5 speed. Any suggestions?

Transmission/engine mounts? Maybe a loose heat shield.
