Is the noise coming from the front? If so, did you check your front wheel bearing? Jack up the car and try to see if there is any play when you try to rock the wheel vertically. If it feels loose, then your bearing may have went bad.

Do you have uneven wear in your tires? This could also cause the noise..

low ...not a pitch just a hum on and off , and no not a wheel bearing like i said only under load when in gear, this would make it drive train related. Our cars dont have pilot bearing if i remember correctly. Its not loud have to listen for it , can even feel it too. Like i said had/have looked over the car and cant find nothing wrong ..change diff fluid and no change...only think i can think of its the 5th gear ...and to just live with it as it does not effect the car in anyway.
Just was wandering if anyone had or has this problem if u could even call it a problem.

sounds like normal tire noise to me. Sometimes when you hit just the right type of road and speed, they get louder due to certain harmonics.
