I know your pain, I had a diesel hilux years ago that did the same thing, bloody annoying! Funny thing is, I changed a gearbox mount and the noise went away.

I had a similar problem with a hilux. Fixed it by bedding the snorkel onto the guard with silicone. Problem was caused by the bolts/screws vibrating out.

This guy knows. mine was doing the same, its the mounts on the pillar that secure the snorkel half way up the cab. i just pulled the rubber door seal off and used a ring spanner and socket set to tighten the two bolts up, easy job!

I had the same - did all the same
It is caused by the shape of the head unit on the snorkel. The shape causes an air dam at the head and hence the buffeting. To prove it take the head off and see if the vivration stops. No matter whats said this will not affect the operation of the engine in any way other than to give you a little better fuel saving.
