Default Odd Noise

At any gear, between 1900 and 2300 rpm, as I'm accelerating, I hear a noise that I don't think I should be hearing. The best I can describe it is that it sounds "tinny". Its not so much a grinding as it is a ringing. I have absolutely no idea what it could be, as Ive never heard a sound like it before. Any one have an idea as to what it could be?

My '97 used to do that. Previous owner added slip on chrome tips to the stock exhaust. At almost exactly 1750 they would sing to me. Local exhaust shop tack welded them in place and they haven't been heard from since.

Thanks, this just gives me one more reason to switch exhausts.
