help diagnose a weird noise

friends,
car in question: 97 SET 69xxx miles, manual transmission.
the jury has come back from deliberation, and the verdict is as follows: my car is definitely making a strange noise. in essence, the sound is a bit of a honk with moan mixed in, sprinkled with a groan and topped by a nearly imperceptible sensation from the footwell, where i can "feel" the noise with the pedals. the noise only seems to occur at low speeds, when turning 90 degrees at low speeds, when coming to a stop from a low speed, or when pulling away from a stop at a low speed. i'm talking very passive driving. it never happens when driven aggresively (at least not that i've noticed.) it also occurred once or twice while the car was idling. the sound arose over the past three to four months, and only lasts for about a second, and seems not to affect performance. any ideas on what it might be? it definitely seems to originate in the front end, almost certainly from the engine (since i feel it in the pedals). any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance.
best,
chris diken
