I don't know what a "brake shield" is but judging by your username I'm assuming you have a GSR motor in your Civic. The 94+ Integra GSR exhaust manifold is infamous for breaking inside the A pipe, thus causing a rattling between 3 and 4 grand.
Mine occurs at 3400.

i have that same thing on my b16a3 del sol. i have a header and exhaust and im assuming it might be the cat that has broken apart. i checked all the fittings for everything but its still there. try checking your cat for stuff to break. i know carsounds are infamous for that happening.

Like I said before, if you have narrowed down that the heat shields are not the source of the rattling, it's generally the OEM exhaust manifold A pipe that needs to be replaced. It's even an Technical Service Bulliten (TSB) on http://www.alldata.com.

I had that problem before and it ended up being a washer. The bolt was loose causing the washer to move freely and make a rattle noise.
Try looking for any loose bolts, around where the area occurs.

Its the cat hitting the heat shield. I have the same noise at the same RPM range. I put my car on a lift and while my friend was giving it gas I stuck a sock between the cat and the heat shield and the noise dissapeard. Seeing how a sock can be somewhat flamable, i took it out and the noise cam back.

Re: rattling noise at 3-3.5K RPM (I wanna be Steve!)
O.K. Here's the deal. I too have a GSR motor in a 97 coupe. Tonight after work I had a brain fart. I drilled a hole in both downpipes on my manifold. I then welded them up, welding the inner pipe to the outside of the manifold. Boom..........rattle gone. Just a thought, since now it is a proven fact that it is the down pipe of the manifold. Hope this helps!!!! L8er!!!
