It's even worse on the diesels because there's no throttle plate.  Mine
had a loud, deep resonance in that same rev range, regardless of whether I
was accellerating or just cruising.  With the snorkel connected there's
still quite a bit of racket, but it doesn't have the same deep drone to it
and the overall volume is lower.
