Hiya Mate

I have the same sort of noise that seems to kick in at about 3000rpm in any gear. Had a mechanic look at it who seemed to think it was the gears in the rev counter - havent taken the dash out yet to check it out, but just an idea for you.

Good luck

Could be a heat shield on the turbo/exhaust.
