Re: Strange sound

This is a classic intake manifold vacuum leak.

Chances are it's one of the vacuum lines has come loose or is leaking, either at a fitting or it's developed a split or hole somewhere. The fix is easy, just run the engine at idle, lift the hood and follow the noise to the source.
It's possible the base gasket of the carburetor is leaking, too.
