searching for appropriate onomatopoeias is pretty much the bane of all car problem research, so i apologize for anybody in the future searching for this.
my m42 has been doing this for quite some time now, perhaps after an oil change? i also used mann oil filter, which i've heard isn't good, but i also purchased a stethescope and it has not given me any more clues as to why this is going on.
the sound: completely RPM dependent, gets louder with higher RPMS, somewhat quiet at idle. but gets suuuper loud at speed. i took belts off (both accessory and PS belt) and the sound stopped? maybe i should take it around the block, i've only done it stationary. tried taking off just PS belt and still made the same sound.

pulls quite strong, temps are good, just that noisy ass chugga chugga chugga fft fft fft noise. sounds like a whistle almost at higher speed. tried soaping belt, same sound.
idle can sometimes stick around 900~ but settles at the 9:00 position (around 600-650).
voltage fluctuates at 14.1 ~ 13.9 and drops with accessory usage.
before sound:
oil change
VCG
i will note what i've done recently after the noise began:
water pump / thermostat
belts
chain tensioner (this might have been around the same time?) i did stethescope this and a sound emitted with a similar cadence but not definitive
i have a taped up intake elbow that i have been meaning to replace, but i doubt that such a noise can come from that, right? it's not like the seal is that bad.
i think that's about it in terms of info. really hope you guys can help me crack the case!
