The noise is not present if I rev the motor in neutral or if I push in the clutch and rev it, and once again is only present if I push the gas.
Any thoughts as to what this could be, or any way I can diagnose this on my own? I can take it in to the dealership and have it checked out, but I'd rather not if I don't have to. I really don't think I'm being paranoid as it is a distinctive sound that I have not heard. I also put on a set of blizzaks before the trip, but I'd think if it was tire noise it would be present just rolling down the street but I can only hear it when I push the gas.

It is the snows.
Mine only make weird noises at certain speeds as well. They also make the strangest noise when I turn that would scare the crap out of me if I didn't know I changed tires.
If it really is bugging you, you could swap the summers back for a bit to confirm but that is a lot of work.
