buzz/vibration at around 1500rpm?

Started to get a vibration/buzzing sound at around 1500-1700rpm and I cnt feel anything. At first it was only in 1st and 2nd then nothing. Tonight it was the worst its been, yet when I went back out in the car there was nothing.
At first I thought exhaust but you don't get it when revving.
Also other night we noticed a hose of some sort hanging down in the middle of the car and that sorted it until tonight. Are there just clips holding it up or is there supposed to be something more secure holding it in place?

Car is a pov spec 1.2 06 plate and I've had it since new. 31k on the clock.

Just wondering what I should be looking at to tighten and look for damage?

Also to note, it starts to happen after about 4-5mins of driving.

Silly question as well, could taking a wheel off and on do this? Seemed to start after I removed the wheel to look at my hub spacing for the suspension.

I doubt the hose is the cause.

Where do you feel the vibration? If it's through the steering wheel, then it will be a wheel balancing issue.

Yeh I know, was so hopeful with it.

It's not a vibration I feel, it just sounds like a vibration.

It's a shout I suppose, doesn't sound like a plastic vibration unfortunately.

Will get it checked out anyway.

Gladly I don't.

Sometimes it sounds like its coming from in front of me (drivers seat position) and sometimes below to the left.

just hold different bits of trim in the car. try the stereo surround. try the dials, check you dont have a zippo lighter in the side of your door, check there is no loose change in the cup holders, check there is nothing in your glove box.

Kl will have a deek. It sounds mechanical though and not interior unfortunately.
