Low RPM Engine Noise Question....

My car runs very well (1982 SC with 77,000 original miles), all maintenance and updates,etc. However, when I am at lower RPM's, as the car is approaching the "good" part of the powerband it sometimes will make an odd noise. If I could describe what the noise sounds like I would say, sort of like a couple of old style pencil sharpeners whirring away in a big metal pipe. Nothing, nasty or crunching or sudden but a gradual noise that tapers off once I hit 3,000 or so. Any thoughts on this? Could it be a bearing in the transmission?
