I had the same sound plaguing my peace for months after I bought my 81sc. I took her to two Porsche techs who told me that they could not hear anything wrong with the car. It wasn't until I put a trusty and crusty Porsche club member into the passenger seat and drove him around for 5 min. that the mystery of the strange noise was exposed.
The guy looked at me and said, "there is nothing wrong with the car, the problem is how you drive it. It's a Porsche stop treating it like a Toyota. " then he demonstrated what the power curve of the 911sc is all about.
In short, if you look at your manual, you will see that the car gets its power between 4-5k rpm. That means if you are driving under 40 mph, you want to be in 2nd gear (and loving life). Don't be afraid to take your car past 4k RPM, its designed to do that.
Do I speak the truth? Someone with more experience, please chime in.
