I can't figure out what is going on here:

Noise pitch seems to fall as throttle increases. Vacuum hoses checked and all seem to check out. I would think a bearing or belt would rise in pitch with throttle. Any ideas?
What the heck is this noise?

might get a couple ft. long hose, close to your ear then move around with it to locate source.
777s on all that have and all that do protect our freedoms.

Certainly sounds like an intake leak to me. I am going to guess intake manifold gasket and/or carb mounting gasket.

When throttle opens, vacuum decreases, therefore intake leak pitch goes down.
Spray starting fluid around carb base, manifold joints, etc. If it sucks in through a leak, engine rpm changes and you can thereby locate the leak.

Thanks, will check. It definitely seems to be coming from that area. I pointed a hose at all the pulleys and it didn't sound like they were culprits.PwrWgnDrvr wrote:When throttle opens, vacuum decreases, therefore intake leak pitch goes down.

It was the carb mount gasket. How rare (but how lovely) it is when the fix is $3 and 10 minutes.
