It's REALLY tough to diagnose a noise from words. Have you checked the transmission fluid yet? Is it bright red, or is it dark and smells burnt? Dark and burnt smelling is bad, it means you have a burned clutch pack and the tranny will need rebuilding soon.
It's something in the engine or tranny because the noise follows engine RPM. Wheel bearing/brake noises are speed dependent and do not change with engine RPM alone.
Another thought- Could it be your alternator? The one in my 77Impala is original, and when the battery is weak I can hear the difference when it's charging or not. I would describe the sound as similar to what you describe.
Welcome to the site, good luck, let us know what you find!
