        /end.

        is the noise constant or only at specific engine speeds?

                  remove the power steering and A/C belts to eliminate those systems as the source.

                              Probably a rear wheel bearing (one of mine does the same thing) or I've heard of the driveshaft dust shield thing rubbing the driveshaft and making that noise.
