please help, really weird noise, not sure what it is

Just hoping someone could help me out.

Recently i started hearing this really weird noise.
It happens only when i press on the gas pedal and then release around 2 - 2.5k rpms or if i switch gears at that range. The sound is like a mechanical "trrrrr" for around 1-3 seconds. it gets a LOT worse if im taking a corner. It makes no noise if i just rev it up without putting it in gear....

any idea what it might be? (p.s. i havent changed my tranny oil in a while, and im 500 miles past my oil change and will be getting it done tomorrow. and the only mods i have is intake and y-pipe...)

thanks

Could it be knocking and pinging?
