more jerkyness accelerating and noises help

hey all

I noticed while driving today when accelerating i hear this humming type of noise coming from the vehicle. It is not an ongoing noise but rather it comes and goes, I notice it more when driving on highway speeds.

As well I am noticing the ride is not as smooth as it was before....there is more jerkyness when trying to accelerate quickly and that instant punch is not there like before in my opinion.

Anyone know what might be the problem? No error messages on the dash. Any help is appreciated

It is a 2003 but my radiator was updated before i bought the car

is it possible it could be a fuel pump issue and the humming noise is the fuel pump?

Does your car accelerate past 4k rpm when driving?
