I'm pretty sure it's coming from the engine bay, and it sounds close up to the dash area. It only seems to happen when I'm driving--revving the engine in neutral doesn't appear to replicate it.

Am I just nuts?
It's probably just your air intakes. At higher revs you're moving a lot of air, thus causing the noise.
