Any work done recently on the engine ?
Check all vacuum tubes attached to the intake manifold.

If the sound is present at all times.....with motor idling or running at a higher rpm, it shouldn't be difficult to isolate the source with the hood opened up. Check all the T-body intake vac lines as previously suggested. Check the air filter and also the drive belt pulleys and tensioner.

Try to narrow it down to a specific area.....LHS, RHS or top front/back.

I fixed it. It was a loose bolt on the egr cover on the top. I tightened them up and the noise went right away. Small stupid things man lol. Happy it's fixed now though!
