I had a problem that I described as a "groan" at idle, but growling sounds like a good descriptor too.
In my case it happened to be the aluminum tube that runs along the right side of the engine. It had come loose from it's mount and it was rattling against the right engine mount.
I'm not sure what hoses run along side of the tube but there is a clip on the hose that holds the aluminum tube in line with the hose. I could not get the tube to snap back into clip, so I used a plastic bag tie and "loosely" tied it around the rubber hose and the tube, just enough to hold it up off the engine mount.
You could also wedge something underneath the tube but I would be afraid of something coming loose in the engine compartment.
Check it out, maybe that's all it is.
