Roaring noise...what is it???
I have a 2000 X 5.4... There is a loud roaring noise when releasing gas pedal or stopped (doesn't matter whether its in park or drive)...noise stops when giving gas...the noise is almost like a bull horn...there are no engine lights on so can't get a code...

Could just be the engine fan engaging. It sounds like an F18 w/ afterburners when the fan clutch engages. <!-- / message -->

That's what I was thinking, they spin pretty good when they are cold and idling and some probably grab better that others.

Probably not the fan as it will get louder with the gas.
I'd, too, suspect an airway obstruction or more than likely, an air/vacuum leak.
Check your intake assembly first. Pop the hood and listen for the noise and try to pinpoint its location.

My 250 work truck does this sometimes. Everytime our mechanics checked it out it ended up being the IAC.

Stick a broom in the fan to eliminate that possibility. It is starting to sound more like an intake noise though.
