If it still has any of the heat shields around the exhaust pipe, I would
start by checking those. Just give them a tap & see if you get rewarded with
a rattle. Other possibilities are worn accessory belts & bearings in belt
tensioners/ idler pulleys. These tend to show up predictably at certain
engine revs though.

I have only 70,000 miles on my 97 Nissan 2.4 PU. At the rate I'm going
(70,000 in 13 years), I'll never see 200,000 miles, much less 348,000 miles
