thanks for the response
would a worn inner cv stop making the noise if in neutral?  the noise only seems to be present while in gear, and lessens when accelerating.  It is not noticeable if coasting in neutral.

any ideas as to for what i should be looking?   bearing or gear on the way out? oil level low?

help appreciated
