Default whining/humming

Hey guys im get a whining/humming noise seems like its coming from the passenger side. Only when i push the gas it does it, but when i let off it quits. Not sure if maybe this is from exhaust or what. If so will a system like a magnaflow or flowmaster make it go away?

Passenger side front? Rear? Passenger seat? Kind of hard to tell you anything without more info. What engine? Any performamce upgrades done? Maybe you are just hearing the exhaust note. If so, a performance muffler won't make it go away, just sound different. And please, do not put a flowmaster on it, you will not like it.

I put the Flowmaster 40 series on my truck and I love it! Sounds fantastic.
