If you can get it on the lift again, when it's warm and noisy, try using a mechanic's stethoscope on each wheel to see if you notice a difference among the wheels or at the diff.

My suspicion is a wheel bearing.

bad engine mounts can cause this noise and vibration. In one case I saw the car had a bad torque converter in the transmission that was causing a rough grinding howling noise as it drove down the road.

Noise from engine mounts of torque converter should disappear if I put the car in neutral and switch the engine off.

Of course I tried to locate the noise with a stethoscope.
Wheel bearings are silent, the diffs make noise but not abnormal.
