Engine Throbbing

New to this forum, please forgive stupid questions.
When I drive my 2005 XR4WD at 65-75 and hold I hear the engine throbbing instead of a constant humm. Anyone recognize this issue or am I to sensitive to engine noise.

What kind of noise does a 'throbbing' sound make?

Instead of a regular hum of the engine at high revs, it sounds irregular, almost like increasing revs and decreasing without the speed change. How else can I explain?
