Check the AIC, may need cleaning.... or

use a stethoscope and isolate the source of the noise... EAST!..... Philip

Does the sound change with engine speed? If you shift to neutral and slowly rev the engine is the sound still present? Is the sound only noticeable when accelerating, or also at idle? Does the sound get louder when you turn the steering wheel?

Sounds are very difficult to diagnose over the Internet. The more details you can provide, the better suggestions we'll be able to provide.
