Default what is this??!!

I notice when going down i notice this sound/vibration. When i give it gas the noise gets faster whmm, whmmm, whmm sound(sorry cant explain the noise no other way) and when i let off the gas it slows down. only does it when getting around the 2200 rpm range or so. is this the exhaust system? I know my TSP y-pipe is really really close to the torque arm. Didnt seem to do it until i got my hooker catback system but anyways. can you guys help me diagnosing this??? thanks

Ahhhh ... the infamous 2200rpm 3rd-gear-only A4 vibration - do a search in the auto forum - you'll find a lot of discussion and commiseration from fellow sufferers, but not many answers.
