Another thought comes to mind:

If the momentary 'rumbling' appears to be periodic, but at a different rate between different chainrings, that suggests a stuck link in the chain.

A typical chain has about twice as many links as the number or teeth on a (standard road) outer chainring, so a stuck link passing through the drive train will be felt roughly every two crank revolutions. A typical chain has about 3 times the number of teeth on a (standard road ) inner chainring, so a stuck link passing through the drivetrain will be felt roughly every three crank revolutions.
