Odd Noise

Odd Noise
Only when rpms are between 2500-3500 or somewhere close in that range, it sounds like a belt is slipping (not squeaking), or kind of like a buzzing, something to that nature.....no check engine light, no indication that anything is wrong other than the fact that sometimes I get this weird noise.
It's not consistent. Only seems to happen at lower rpms.
I know I have the secondary air pump sound but that goes away after it warms up, and this sound just started recently...
If anything I've mentioned is a tell-tale sign of something, please let me know...

Now it seems to be happening throughout all the RPM ranges, but it doesn't happen in neutral when the engine is revved.....this is driving me crazy. I wish whatever it is would just break so I can figure out what it is.
It's almost like some sort of crackling sound, definitely not just water going through the heater core or some crap like that...

Search out a thread by Jon316G and "SSV", maybe the solenoid is chattering? There is other info in that thread that might be of use as well? This is just a pure guess as to what it may be, since you are convinced it's not MIAC.
Probably need to get in there and isolate where the noise is coming from.

Got Ink?
You could try disconnecting some belts to see if any pulleys are loose. Before that though, you should check to see if the belts are at the correct tension and alignment. It may be that they are stretched.

I purchased some new belts for the hell of it(have yet to install), not sure if the current ones are off alignment/tension, they have been the same since I bought the car....

I'll try to get a sound clip together, all I can say for sure now is that it doesn't happen in neutral even when you rev the engine all the way to 9k.
Also the sound increases in frequency and volume the higher RPM you go while in gear, and it seems to be relative to RPM and not speed.
I've read about a dozen MIAC threads, what seems to be different about my problem is that it ONLY happens when the car is under load, and in all RPM ranges.
And it's really odd that it just started happening after 91k miles....
It does however seem to be coming from behind the glove box.
