Talk about the other 3800 powered GM cars, particularly for items not covered in other sections that may be unique to your year/model, and differ from a Bonneville.

My son's '99 has a similar problem that is caused by an exhaust leak between the rear manifold and the down pipe. You may want to start there.

Where exactly from the engine is the sound coming from?
