Droning noise from engine
Got a new noise coming from my car as of today. At around 20 it sounds like someone blowing air down a cardboard tube. As I accelerate it gets louder to the point it sounds like an old prop driven airplane around 40.
As best I can tell it's coming from the front, perhaps slightly to the left.
Any clues what this might be?

It's air blowing through something. Maybe a wheelarch liner is a bit loose. Maybe some trunking has come adrift.
