I found my problem and solution in this thread https://delicaforum.com/index.php?threads/wind-noise.1203/
But I wanted to make a more specific subject title so others can find it easier.
Between 80-100km/h I had this metallic sounding buzzing/rattling coming from the front passenger side of the van. None of the usual interior suspects were causing it. And it definitely sounded like it was coming from outside and tapping against a body panel or thin heat shield. At first I thought it was the top plate cover to the swaybar box. And while that did rattle and produce the sound I was hunting when I jiggled it, removing it did not solve the problem. Although I'm definitely going to make a gasket before bolting it back down.
Then last night I was searching the forums for buzzing, rattling, sound, wind-related, speed-related, etc and I found the thread above about wind noise. I don't have wind intruding in the cabin, which that thread seemed to be about, but buried a few replies into the thread I found what described my problem.
Sure enough, I went out this morning and found the rubber trim piece loose and removed it. Took it out for a shakedown and the buzzing is gone. The van no longer sounds like a kazoo.
