(Sounds like a knoby snow tire on dry pavement) My local mecanic ran the car on the lift and couldn't find anything.
Unless someone has a sugestion on what to look for I will keep driving until the noise is louder and more consistant.
hints: noise is not yet consistant
rotated rear tires, no change in noise
sometimes louder during a left hand turn
not engine nooise, definiatly drive line.
seems to get quiter when you aply the breaks.
Any ideas?

Most likely a wheel bearing. Does the noise change on cornering?
