Motor mount? It can be tough chasing a noise propagating through a metal structure (body shell) as the sound travels much faster than in air, so your brain can't use its normal algorithm to determine the direction. I'd suggest getting a mechanic's stethoscope (well under $10 for the adequate one from Harbor Freight) and poke around and see if you can find the "hot spot"...
