Default Whooopee sound at 28-32 mph

It is -9F. When I drive away cold, the car makes a whoopee sound at 28-32 mph. Is this a bearing noise or what? Anybody have any ideas? Tranny fluid is only 20K miles old on rebuilt tranny, and nothing has leaked out of the tranny since overhaul.

Could it be output shaft bearing on right (pass) side?

More stuff! Gotta get out of this place!

Default It's -9F, that should tell you something

If it goes away when the car warms up or ambient is above 5F, I wouldn't worry about it.

You can't design something to work in -9F to +120F with no problems whatsoever.

As always, a calm head in the storm. If it goes away, I won't care. God I hate winter. At least AWD makes it fun.

Usually the "whooooopee" comes in at around 130mph for me ; - )
