Did you check the condition of the transmission mount? Wasn't it cracked?
Does your noise synchronize with the movement of the shift lever? This can be checked by touching your hand to the shift lever and accelerate. If the movement and the noise occurs simultaneously, it is caused by the transmission mount in most of the case.

A much simpler thought if this has appeared suddenly, is there some hard object stuck in the tire? Rock, big screw...
