The faster you go the louder it gets. My wife took it down to have the oil changed and they said that the throttle body had a lot of carbon build up. I got some cleaner and cleaned the throttle body and that didn't get rid of the noise. I also checked the rear differential and the fluid was low. I changed the fluid and noise it still there. Anyone have any idea what is could be.

It could be a bad wheel bearing, irregular tire wear or differential bearings. Does it change when you go into a corner? I have seen bad bearing hubs cause this.
