I had the same symptoms, It was my crank pulley (Harmonic Balancer). I had it repaired at the dealer for around $300.00

I have the same problem and it came down to the Harmonic Balancer. Get it fixed you should be fine Thats what I am doing. As if you let it go as I have the sound gets louder and louder
