Just noticed this - when I accelerate slowly to a crawl, then stay at that speed, I hear this noise which I can only describe as a soft metallic scrapping (like rubbing two pieces of metal back and forth), and goes away as I pick up speed.

Anyone else have this, and is it normal?
 
Can you hear the other noise, the slight whirring as speed picks up?
 
I reckon the above suggestion is likely, brakes are the cause, a certain chassis range is subject to a technical bulliten where a mod is performed on it may be worth seeing if yours is affected by this
 
i severly doubt its the pistons.

checked your oil?

Yep oil is fine.

Yes, Drama-Queen-Kev strikes again.

when i drive at speed and open window it sounds like a windy day even if there no wind, do i need a new window or a new door?

Sounds serious.. I think you'll need both a new window and a new door :chin:
