This noise started last night. I know I pushed my car twice to 5k. I was showing my cousin the art of 5spd. Well anyways. When I dropped him off at his house I notice that (in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear) I get this pulsating, hissing/swirling sound at around 3.1k until I shift to a higher gear. I pulled over immediately and reved my car by hand, and no sound. It seems to happen when I'm in motion. The noise is almost like taking a rope and twirling it real fast to get that almost whistling sound. Has anyone else had this happen? I cant seem to narrow it down to where it's comming from, since I'm the one driving. It comes from the passenger side and I dont think it's any of my belts. Any suggestions?

a vac line would sound like that. Also a vac line would make your car idle funny. I found a good way to figure out if you have a vac leak is to take your intake pipe off and hold your hand over the TB. the restricted air will cause the Vac line thats leaking to hiss and your idle will smooth out also. i dont know why this happns but its something my father showed my while I was having problems with my head.
