Default Droning From Engine Under Light Accel

Fairly frequently when Iamcruising on the highwayor accelerating lightly from a stop, usually while the car is in lower RPMS (1000-2500) the car makes this low pitched vibrating noise. It's an automatic, and it almost sounds like a manual sounds when it's bogging out (but not as loud).Even if I'm coasting on a flat road and start accelerating Lightlyit makes this noise. It usually only lasts a couple of seconds or until i let off the gasthen goes away. It's noticeably lower in pitch than the regular engine noise. I just upgraded to a APR R1 DV and installed a K&N Filter. Too me it sound like the intake box is resinating. any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
