CEL and strange noise

hey guys, i was hoping that some insight on my CEL. I had about a 2 hour trip on sunday, and as i was getting close to home i started to notice a strange noise. The easiest way to describe it is really low pitched whir sound, that is a split second behind the whir of the motor. You can only hear it in low gears, its most noticable from a stop. From inside the car, it sounds like it is low and toward the left (drivers side). During the first time i noticed it the CEL never came on.

Monday morning when i started the car, thats when the CEL came on. Since i have a new job, and dont want to leave early to take my car to the dealer, i was hoping that somebody might have some thoughts. I'm going to get it to the dealer on saturday, thankfully until then i can just drive my other car. Thanks for the help.
