Hi:
If the sound is coming from the engine and affected by RPM's, it could be a few things. You may have a bad rod bearing, crank bearing... You will need to have it looked at by a mechanic that can hear it. In the interum, make sure the oil if full and clean. If it's one of the things I listed, it may be an expensive fix.


Let me know what you find.
