  "abstract": "We study a model consisting of $N$ nonlinear oscillators with {\\em global periodic} coupling and {\\em local multiplicative} and additive noises. The model was shown to undergo a nonequilibrium phase transition towards a broken-symmetry phase exhibiting noise-induced \"ratchet\" behavior. A previous study \\cite{[7]} focused on the relationship between the character of thehysteresis loop, the number of ``homogeneous'' mean-field solutions and the shape of the stationary mean-field probability distribution function. Here we show --as suggested by the absence of stable solutions when the load force is beyond a critical value-- the existence of a limit cycle induced by both:multiplicative noise and {\\em global periodic} coupling.",
