Engine problem?

Engine problem?
During acceleration and starting my car, she makes a growling throaty sound, coming from the engine bay, towards the back. That's where it sounds like it's coming from while inside the car. I have no CEL, and the performance doesn't seem to be hindered. Everything seems ok aside from this noise. Almost sounds like a hole in the exhaust, that sort of sound. I have a video of it, I'll try and upload it. Any ideas what it could be? Just got my oil changed a couple weeks ago, if that means anything.
Edit: Here's the video. It's from my BlackBerry, so the quality isn't good.
I just took this video 3 minutes ago.

I don't think it's a hole in the exhaust, my brother had that happen to his car and it was extremely loud, even at idle. It isn't coming from that area either, although I could check it out.

If you haven't seafoamed in awhile, you could give that a try. If you have an exhaust leak, you would be able to see the smoke coming out of any leaks...
tried to listen to the vid, but all I could hear was your blinker...

Sorry, it's after I take the turn, you can only hear it for a second then the mic can't pick it up anymore. I'll try and take a better video in a couple minutes. I've never actually done the seafoam, I heard it does amazing things. I didn't see any smoke anywhere, I'm 99.9% sure it isn't the exhaust.
