Short story: my saab sat from december to about mid april, when I finally got it started, it had that same sound, clearly engine speed related, not tranny related b/c same sound when increasing RPM and not in gear. Loud like you couldn't even hear someone talking when it was running. Plus the car had sat with old oil not getting circulated for five months etc.
So just a week ago I used that stuff to clean the engine (not oil treatment but an actual engine cleanser), you circulate it in the oil ON IDLE ONLY (and not in gear etc.) for about 4 minutes, then immediately change the oil. I suspect it just dissolves the oil and sludge or something.
Anyhoo, after the oil change the engine has never sounded better: quiet, and smooth accelerating. Must have cleaned out the oil passages that bring the oil up to the lifters etc.
So if your noise is engine and not transmission related, maybe try that stuff, esp. if the car has sat and/or has tons of miles on it.
