I drove myself crazy trying to find a similar sound on my 01. I used to have my son drive so I could listen for it. After replacing a ton of parts, it turned out to be the front driveshaft. Got a new one from Autozone (improved design) the sound was eliminated. Do yourself a favor, crawl underneath and check it, if that CV boot is torn-dolloars to donuts its that driveshaft making the noise. Hope it helps

Sorry, after reading my post, I actually got the driveshaft from Advance auto parts. New design that eliminated the CV joint and goes to a double ujoint.
