Ok....it's not the TOB because it happened before and after I got it replaced.

I can only hear it in 5th gear, when above 55-60mph....and when the throttle is being pressed.

I know it's directly linked to the throttle becuase I can be doing 75-80mph down the interstate let off the gas....it stops, give it gas....I can hear it again.

Any ideas??

I had a wird chirping noise when cruising in my car. it turned out to be the clips that hold the drip rail on. only took me like 1year to find it. mine sounded likeit was coming from the middle of the dash and it turned out to be the drivers side drip rail. it was only cruising at certain rpm's that I would hear it. probably not what is happing in your case but thought I would throw it out. basically there are metal clips that slide into plasit retainer on the cowl and drip rails.
