That is a link to a video I got tonight of the noise I've been trying to describe on my truck. Sorry if there's something against posting links, but it's the easiest way I could get the video from my phone without a computer.
Anyways, my fiance drove the truck through some back roads with trees on either side which really helps echo the sound so you can hear it over the exhaust and tires. I finally got a good clip from the passenger seat (it's just as loud on the drivers side) of this weird hissing/spinning/something noise. It's been happening more and more when holding steady speeds, still especially bad at 45MPH which we were doing in the video.
I also found out today that the noise doesn't happen if I keep the truck "locked" in a lower gear (4th gear to prevent shifting to 5th at 45MPH)...which is odd? Right? I thought I had it fixed for about 30 seconds after checking the bolts holding the intake plenum onto the engine were tight because someone suggested checking those since I've checked darn near every other bolt and clamp related to the air and exhaust systems. But nope, still there....
Any help or suggestions at all are more than welcome. And this should be the last time I post about this annoying noise until I figure out what it is and fix it so you guys have an answer if it ever comes up for someone else. I apologize again for basically spamming about this noise on my truck, but it's usually those little details that drive us insane right?
