We have been plagued by this vibrating noise, as best I can explain it. It does not vibrate but sounds like it, much like the noise made when you have the rear windows open while the car is moving. So hard to explain! It only makes the noise at 13-15mph, 23-25mph, 33-35, at its worst at 43-45mph. As long as you maintain that speed, it will continue, only stopping at a different speed. Our dealer has not been able to fix it and we are getting extremely frustrated. They have contacted General Motors but every suggestion they've given has proved not to eliminate the problem.

There is a tool you might be able to borrow or rent from an auto parts store that borrows them called the "Chassis Ear". It is a set of six microphones, a switch box, and headphones. You clip the microphones to suspect points, then drive around while listening with the headphones. You can move the microphones around to zero in on the source of the noise. Be aware that many mechanics have never seen or even heard of this tool. Suspension and alignment mechanics use it to find rattles, squeaks, and other noises.
