Is there a chance it could be one of the rear cv joints? Would they make this sort of sound if they were bad?

I was also thinking it could be the rear diff. How would i check it? Ive checked the fluid and it looks fine.

I cant handle this noise much longer. I drive 50 miles round trip to work everyday and have to listen to it. Its getting old fast. -Evan
Jack up the whole car and run the engine in 'D' and check underneath carefully for sounds, rattling etc etc? Hope this will help a lot in getting an idea on whts goin on there....
