Only noise I've known a carb to make is a hiss when you leave the air filter off. If it has a vacuum slide and the diaphragm went bad I imagine that could hiss too. But a 'deep noise' you got me there. Are you sure its coming from the carb?

Narrow down the source of the noise. These are very useful:

Mechanic's Stethoscope

You can also use a short piece of garden hose - one end held up to your ear, and the other to various points on the engine til you localize the problem.

Another poor boy stethoscope is a simple screwdriver. Basically put the handle to your ear snugly and touch it to where you wanna listen. Longer screwdrivers allow better reach. A wider handle helps seal it to your ear better. People will look at you like your crazy but who cares as long as your bike runs later.
