Girlfriend's 98 GLX has just under 180k on it. Started making this sound a little while back and it's slowly becoming louder. Sounds like it's near the middle of the motor on the tranny side in the back. Only happens at above idle but low RPM. You can hear in the video the sound go away when I raise the engine speed.

Any ideas?
