Start the car and when it makes this sounds , drive down a side street with no traffic, look behind you make sure there are no cars. Then push in the clutch and turn the engine off with the key. Just one click back towards you to turn off, once the engine is off, does it still make the sound.
Thats the first step to eliminating an engine sound. I would bet you still hear the noise. If so, you will know its either drive train or suspension/wheels.

If there is no sound when you're standing still and reving the engine, its a pretty good guess its not in your engine.
If the noise is louder when turning in the opposite direction of the sound, its likely a bearing.
If the noise continues when the car is in neutral while coasting, its in the drivetrain.
Check your flex disc, center bearing, and check for noise in your diff and tranny, assuming its not a bearing.
Also, make sure the brake baking plate isn't rubbing. This often happens after front end work since they're easily bent.
Good luck.Driving is the only way to go faster....
