Strange sound from 4000-4500RPM

Hey all, I've just started having this problem with my civic recently. It is an 2002 EX coupe. When I am accelerating between the RPM's of 4000 and 4500 I hear this cha, cha, cha sound. It's almost as if you think about the sound your tires make during wheel hop after a launch. It sounds like it is coming from the passenger side but I can't confirm that without listening to it outside of the car. The car does not seem to have any performance issues and there is no CEL. Any ideas?

take everything that will vibrate in your car such as loose change, metal stuff, glasses, cd's, tapes, 8 tracks, etc... then try hearing it again if you do then look into your suspension, wheels, tires, etc... anything that could cause a vibration or w/e your expierencing
