R U sure it's not something like the AIR pump, power steerin
pump, bad alternator, bad water pump bearings? They can all
make a lot of irritating noise.

I agree !   Isolate the noise - use a simple rolled up piece
of cardboard to your ear - or - stethoscope if you have one -

but  - a bag of marbles sounds a lot like that AIR pump thing or
power steering etc. 

If the engine is running well - oil pressure is good - these last
for 250 K a lot of the time.
