Weird noise at ~1.5-2.2k RPMS in '08 TL-S

I've been noticing my '08 TL-S 5AT has been making a weird vibrating noise (sounds like a droning noise even) that is prominent even from inside the cabin w/ windows up when the car is accelerated at stated RPMs, especially in first and second gear. I have owned an '07 TL-S 5AT before this one and that vehicle did not make this kind of noise ever. I suspect it could be due to a bad muffler but I am not completely sure. Anyone else have this problem?

Also, there is a constant fluttering noise coming from the front of the car (radiator?) that is so obnoxious. Such problems make my car seem fucking cheap, even compared to a Hyundai.

Check the inside of the tire treads for feathering.
