Noise from engine/aut gearbox

I have a 9-5 2,3/185 2002 (in Sweden). Purchased in Jan this year at 20K miles. There have been numerous faults with it. All except one has been fixed in a very generous and friendly way by SAAB. There is a noise, coming from the engine or perhaps the aut( 5 spd) gearbox, which has become more obvious as other noises from AC pump etc have been eliminated.
Sounds like a loose piston or "empty cans in a plastic container rolling around" as I accelerate very lightly. Most easy to hear when driving around in the city in low speeds but I can hear it also at 60mph. Engine runs nice and even but sounds ill ! SAAB-people say "thats the way the 2,3 sounds". Independent motorspecialists say "Sounds weird but can not say what it is". To me it is definitely a mechanical sound, not something related to the exhaust etc.
Anyone in this community have similar experience or good ideas? Have had this question up once before but not had any solution yet.
