Engine noise

back ground
91 f250 7.3 e40d 150k

after driving for a bit(an hour or so) the motor develops a noise from the area around the torque converter, the noise is only audible between 825 to 1000 rpm
the noise sounds like a muffled portable air compressor(you know the sound)
everything is running great, just the noise bothers me not knowing what it is
any advice would be great
matt

That could be a few different of things. Torque converter, trans. pump. exhaust systems can resinate some odd ball sounds that a person would thing it was an exhaust.

Sounds like a pretty good candidate for an exhaust leak.
