? weird engine noise, '06 6.8

This is a new one on me. 50mph @ 1500 rpm, trans in top gear (converter locked) light throttle apply it sounds like someone is blowing in a moonshine jug under the hood. First time it happened after 6 hours of highway running I thought it was a semi using the jake brake but it was my truck making the noise. It returns to quiet operation over 55 mph then starts up again about 82 mph (closed course :~) ). Now it does it all the time at 50 mph once the engine gets hot. I cannot find out where its comming from when I check because it only does it when its moving. My thoughts are that it may be some sort of emission valve by passing air somehow but I have not been able to find anything yet.

Any help or suggestions appreciated.

Chk the clutch fan.To test it should spin with alittle resistance with the engine off.
They will roar if starting to lock up and go bad.
