You may think it's coming from the targa top as I suspect that is very close to your ear, but it could still be the fuel tank. Have you noticed if the issue occurs in hot and/or cold weather? And if the fuel tank is full or not? The issue with the fuel tank seems to occur only when the fuel tank is full and under warm weather conditions.
I had liberally had sprayed the suspension mounts and it did seem to go away, but then when it returned fairly quickly, the noise appeared to go away again when the Targa top was down vs up, circling at 10-15 mph in a parking lot experimenting.

I have not examined the gas tank mount dynamic but my tank was only half full and it was about 70F when I did the experiment above. I had also removed the frunk cover first before lubing the suspension mounts to see if that was the issue and without the frunk cover the sound was still there.
