To make a long story short, I had the exhaust pipe replaced a few years ago at my friendly Midas muffler shop in Alabama. I noticed this noise right after that. After several trips back to the Midas shop I finally took it to the Volvo dealer and he replaced the gasket and the noise went away. I now live in Ohio and this same sound developed a month ago. I took it to the Miads shop here where they checked for leaks and didn't find anything. I then explained my experiences with this gasket and he checked again, more closely this time, and found the small leak there. He replaced it with the proper shaped gasket and the noise went away. I think that it can be a very small leak based on the difficulty the "experts" had in finding it. Cost me $50 to get the gasket replaced at Midas.
