Diagnose an odd noise for me (if possible)

Still getting used to the car so maybe this noise is something someone else may have heard / know what it is.
Scenario - front windows down due to being warm. Manual mode 2nd / 3rd gear going fairly slow 30mpg-ish. Press accelator and speed up slightly then let off the throttle just above 2000 rpm… almost straight after lifting off there is what sounds almost like a fly stuck in a window for a split moment coming from outside somewhere.
Perhaps it was a slightly metallic sounding noise like an exhuast rattle (miltek gpf back) but checked all clamps (apart from the reducer one going to gpf) and all tight. Also if i try and replicate but in park or neutral i dont get the noise - dont know if thats due to less actual ‘load’ being applied or it proves exhaust not the culprit.
The noise or buzz/rattle whatever can only be heard at like 2-3000 rev range when lifting off and it’s only for a tiny moment, but you know what it’s like when you hear something
Probably just nothing but thought i’d ask.
