What car and engine? Usually a noise that comes and goes isnt something internal to the engine. Most likely its a loose heat sheild or something like that.

is it a hum or a vibration?? as it only happens at 2k then its the later, check for loose piping AC/ power steering pipes/ engine covers

Also check your catalytic converter. It can rattle. Also check the heat shields around the cat and turbo.
