    When my car is rolled in neutral it makes a weird noise.
    It seems to make this noise at high speeds when coasting too,
    though it has to be done just right and is fairly hard to reproduce.
    Any ideas what it could be?

    Usually neutral only is a transmission issue. But since you state it's also at high speeds while coasting, it's hard to determine.

    Noise in video was deemed normal.
    There is an other noise from the centre baffle. they said that could replace it for 1500 bucks but not worth it.
