Default weird noise in front end?

Every time I'm accelerating in any gear I start to hear this rattling noise, it almost sounds like one of those little metal bells that people put on sales counters to get the clerks attention... or kind of like one of this alarm clocks with the two metal bells that ring really loud.. yeah it sounds like that, odd I know. I honestly have no clue what it could be, it doesn't do it while I'm in neutral and raising the RPMs though. This started happening after I started hearing a whining noise coming from my front end while I accelerated, it sort of sounded like a pump kicking on and kicking off, almost like the pump was going bad. Lately, that has stopped and this new sound just started... I know I'm probably not being very descriptive and not making much sense but work with me here haha. if any of you could possibly help me figure out what this problem is by throwing a couple ideas at me, that would be great!

thanks a lot guys.

btw guys I have a '94 S-10 blazer, low mileage, new fuel pump, new water pump, new radiator, new power steering lines and so on.

Man, it could be so many things. Is your Blazer 4x4? Is the noise coming from the front? It's so hard to say without being able to hear it for one's self. Can you record while driving and uploading it the your pc and let me hear it? Maybe with a digital camera? LOL I don't know man.....I'll try to help you as much as I can.

Check motor mounts to see how far the motor is flexing be ause it may be contacting something when it torques in one direction. Something could be touching a pulley, they make a bell like sound when tapped. Just guessing, i have no clue.
