I just drove my car up the street about a block, when I let off the throttle to slow for the stop sign all of a sudden this incredibly loud deep wirring noise started coming out of the rear/passenger side wheel area. It sounds almost exactly like when you run over a coke-can with a bicycle tire and it grinds against the tire.
The noise is directly related to speed and in gear or not does not make a difference. It sounds like its based between the rear/passenger wheel and differential. It can be heard (altho slower and quieter) at just 2 or 3 mph when I was coming up my driveway.
I jacked the car up and looked around as best I could, its dark and all I have now is a scissor jack but I didnt see anything tangled around the driveshaft or wheel, the axles are dry and show no sign of fluid leak. I tried turning the wheel and it didnt have any abnormal slack or noises coming from it in the small amount it does move.
