Strange noise!! help!!!

This noise started happen about 2 weeks ago, it never happened before and it's driving me nuts! It sound like a cricket got stuck under the hood. I thought it might be some belts but im not sure, whenever i press the gas the sound whirl faster. It also happen when im decelerating, or idling. When i tried to find the source of the noise, it seem to b near the engine. You cant hear it if u open the hood, but you can hear if u put your ears near the front wheels. I tried the search thing, but i havent find nething similar. Mine is a 04 AT with 29k miles on it

Please Helpp!! it's driving me nuts!
