i noticed lately my engine sounds like there is a large fan under the hood instead of the nice motor noise it used to be. it almost seems as the fans run all the time and when i accelerate the fans get louder too .... weird, anything you can think of that may be wrong?
At first I was thinking that your electric fan was stuck on HI, but if the noise is following RPM, you may have a stuck fan clutch. A bad clutch bearing will cause a noise, but it's more like a squeak or grinding noise to my ear. Either way it's worth a look.
I have this exact "sound" coming from my xterra. Did you ever resolve the issue? Really does seem to be the fan clutch...
