Help for strange noise

Good evening, I have been buying a beautiful X5 e70 in 2008 with 120.000 km. The car was in excellent condition and did not give me problems until a few days ago. The current distance is 125,000 km, and I began to hear a noise that is valuable only from inside the cockpit. Having to describe it, I would describe it as a "ringing, which follows the revolutions / engine, but which feels more pronounced between 1500 and 2000 rpm.The first suspect I had was that of the distribution chain, but I think I can exclude it following the following characteristics / verifications: 1) noise occurs only when the engine is hot; 2) the noise disappears when I'm facing a curve on the right or left and comes back as soon as I straighten the steering; 3) the noise is audible however also in neutral with the car stationary; 4) a mechanic whose trust I tried to remove the services belt and the noise disappears. We tried to change the engine pulley with a new one but unfortunately the noise remained. These considerations have therefore made us think with some confidence that the noise don't comes from the chain, even if, as a result of this attempt I passed in bmw, w tell me it could be the chain. At this point I do not really know what to think. Is there anyone who can give me a hand? Thank you in advance. Sorry for my english, It has translate.

Can you make a video of the noise and post it here?

Any chance you can get the recording from under the hood/bonnet and not from inside the cabin?

So you can't hear it from the engine compartment at all, even if someone helps you by slowly revving the engine? What engine do you have?

Exact, i try this, but haven't heard nothing. My engine Is 3.0 d. I suspect that Is located in crankcase valve but in all videos i Everest see, that kind of noise Is more louder than mine.

Unfortunately I don't know enough about the 3.0 d to be of much help. Hopefully someone with more knowledge than I will chime in.
