Default Issue: Buzzing Drone Sound at Low RPM

I have a 1992 5 speed SC3, and recently I have been driving my car around, and I'm getting this real deep drone sound when I'm in gear at low RPM's. For example, normally when I'm in 3rd going around a slow corner and get on the gas you hear it, or when I approach someone from behind, stay in a high gear and just cruise under 2000 rpms. Toughts?. Thank you! ~Austin

P.S. over the summer I put in a stage 2 Centerforce clutch in it, with a resurfaced flywheel. Done over 2000 miles on it since then.

When you changed the clutch did you bother to look at the throw-out bearings? Thats probably what it is.
