Noises problem
2002 Mitsubishi Lancer 4 cyl Automatic 110000 miles

My car has started making a vibrating noise which is (probably) coming from the engine. It's a low vibrating noise that I would describe as sounding like a radio that isn't on a station (fuzz). The vibration gets faster or slower with the RPM. It doesn't start making the noise until the car has warmed up. Once it starts making the noise, it does it whether I'm going 5 mph or 50. It does not make the noise when I am idle.

I got the timing belt replaced at about 75,000 miles, so I doubt that is the issue. I use mid grade gas. I don't change my oil as often as I should (about every 4,500).

Any ideas?
