Are you positive it's a new sound? It sounds to me like it's just the sound of the fuel injectors.

If you had an exhaust leak, you would hear a really loud annoying ticking

scope the car and see if you can tell exactly where its coming from. can you even tell if its coming from the engine or the exhaust?
