Default Weird sound coming from the motor

I just noticed this today but somewhere in/around my engine there is a noise that closely resembles a turkey gobble. Its not loud at all and at first I thought it was just a squeaky belt but the noise seems to be coming from the bottom of the engine bay.

Last thing I did to the car was krankvents.

Any ideas? Suggestions on what I should check?
Car runs fine.

With the engine running for a while and after some engine braking / downshifting (please... DON'T overrev ), stop, keep the engine running and pull out the oil dipstick.
You'll probably hear a "phssss" from the vacuum being lost and you'll notice the dipstick is "kinda stuck" before you hear the "phssss".
After that the turkey's are gone..
Until there is enough "vacuum" in the crank case again.

I did notice some noises too after installing the Krank Vents (serious)
More like chickens, not turkey's, maybe goose.

I have the same sound guys and made a post about it a while back.

It definately started happening after I installed the krank vents. I have yet to pull the Krank vents to find out for sure, cause the noise is a good conversation starter..

Do you have a turkey stuck under your car?? Why, yes I do, don't you hear it LOL.

I hit a turkey once.. it flew through the windshield. bloody turkey and glass everywhere. needless to say, I heard no gobbles, but that was definitely not the best way to prevent it.
