Vibration in certain gears and rpms

Hey. Whenever my engine is warmed up, it makes this vibration sound only in gears 3-5 and always around 2200k rpms. Have no clue. It sounds like it's from the front of the engine and not the tranny but yiur guess is as good as mine

I had a vibration sound on my car. Turned out it was the heat shield in the the bottom cat. 3-4 dollar fix with a hose clamp. On my old tl it rattled as well until it fell off.

It under the car about half way back or a little less... Hard to miss it... Connects to the j-pipe. I couldnt tell much by looking at it but putting the clamp around it and clamping it down definitely got rid of the noise.
