Default spring like sound?

So i have this strange noise in my car. It seems to come from somewhere near the passenger area, door maybe? It litterally sounds like when a spring releases in a cartoon or something. It seems to be present more often when the car is at low rpms and accelerating lightly.

I just sound deadened the whole car and this is the one noise thats still there and is pissing me off lol.

My V-6 had the same thing. It was the front bushing of the torque arm....totally gone. The dealer had a stock replacement bushing for like $35. There are a couple companies that sell a better torque arm inclusive of the busing for like $200.

do you know exactly what with the torque arm? That would explain it cause i just switched my clutch out and maybe didnt tighten it down enough or something.
