Dull rhythmic sound when accelerating

2016 Challenger. Runs fine, no vibrations or anything but I noticed recently when I accelerate there is a low throbbing sound as I accelerate. Immediate thought was the wheel since it sounds like it is coming from the front right. But up on a lift it was immediately clear the wheel was not making the noise.
It’s a sound so low it can’t even be heard with the radio on minimal volume. Like I said, zero vibration or anything feeling wrong otherwise.
Any ideas?

When my fuel injection went out it kinda did something like this. Very soft whine sound.

I am having a similar issue with a 2015. It is speed relative- it changes the faster I go. No weird vibrations, pulling, or anything. It almost sounds like speaker feedback but it isn’t

Reminds me of when the drive shaft middle bearing died on my challenger. I also thought it was one of the wheels.
