I would have the converter checked for back pressure. if it is plugged it can cause excessive Engine pressure. if it is not plugged then you have excessive blow by or a malfunctioning PCV system it sounds like.

Start the car, open the hood, remove the oil filler cap off the valve cover, if the noise goes away, the problem is in the "positive crankcase ventilation" system (blown diaphragm).
OIL LEVEL CHECK
Every time you stop for fuel, check the engine oil as follows:
Park the vehicle on level ground.
When checking the oil level it is best for the engine to be at operating temperature, although checking the oil immediately after a stopping will lead to a false reading. Wait a few minutes after turning off the engine to allow the oil to drain back into the crankcase.
Open the hood and inspect the level of the engine oil tank. The fluid level on the tank should read between FULL or F and LOW or L.
If the level is below the LOW or L line, remove the cap and add enough engine oil to reach the FULL or F line.

Install the oil cap and hand tighten.
After filling the oil tank, remove the engine access hole cover on the drivers side.
Fig. 2: Make sure the oil tank is to the F mark
Fig. 3: The oil dipstick is located under the driver's side engine access hole cover
Fig. 4: Place your finger through the hole and pull straight up to remove
Remove the engine oil dipstick and wipe it clean.
Reinsert the dipstick, push it in as far as it will go, the pull it out and look at the level on the end.
If necessary, insert more oil through the oil filler cap next to the dipstick, this will completely top off the system.
