I gotcha. I actually had the same complaint and found it is likely sound from adjusted vvt tables. This engine lets off a lot of resonated sound at that rpm range once you retune it. The factory vvt map is a fair bit quieter. This is a common comment and there are many threads on it I was able to find but I don't have them available 'cause I am at work and not on my home PC. You should definitely log fbck and flkc and see if there are signs of knock just to be safe.

For me it's an ~500rpm band from 3500 to 4000 ish. Hope the information is helpful though, I embraced mine and don't have a solid fix.
