Sorry, I'm about out of ideas. Maybe someone else will come up with something else.
pull your rear shaft, drive in FWD and see if the noise continues.
He said he can also hear the whine, although not as loud, if he's sitting still.
Problem fixed. Thanks Justin 😀

Gonna tell us what it was?
He told me to turn up the radio, and sure enough, the noise went away 😀
Wow...I'm confused, can you redescribe the symptoms? 😂 I'm still not clear if it make the noise while sitting still, but I'm slow. 😳 My first thought was rear end too. That's what mine did. Then it went from whine to clunk clunk clunk. If it only makes the noise while moving, pull the rear drive like Dan said.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. :rasta:

only one what?
Sitting still in the parking lot, out of gear, not moving, it will make the noise.
Driving it will make the noise louder.
Driving, take it out of gear, rev the engine, it makes the noise.
Driving, push in the clutch, rev engine, it makes the noise.
What's on first 😛

This tells me its not the axles, driveshafts, or t-case

This pretty much rules out the transmission.
I still think its something driven by the engine being the problem or a vacuum leak, possibly the intake manifold gasket.
Edit) You could be hearing the fuel pump but it makes a pretty consistent sound. I can hear mine if I pay attention to it, but the sound doesn't change with rpm's.
I was going to guess that it was the squirrels, but then I remembered that you don't drive a Toyota. 😳 😂
Does it sound like a jet engine? Is it possible that some one switched motors while you weren't looking.
It appears that I have run out of useful things to add to this thread. 😀
It does sound kinda like a vaccum. My usual diagnosis technique is to wait it out until something falls off or it explodes. Then I just look for the missing part or the charred remains. I was trying to be a little more proactive this time.
Get some sensor safe carb/fuel injector cleaner or starting fluid in an aerosol can. I've even used brake cleaner in a pinch. With the engine running, spray a little bit on your hoses or other areas that could be the source of a vacuum leak. If you find a spot where the engine rpm changes dramatically you've found the source of the leak.
Your air filter hasn't fallen off or gotten a hole in it, has it?
I'll investigate further and report what i find.

I use propane to perform what Fred is describing above.
Bring it by my shop John.
I need to bring the Subi by your shop too 😀

I'm open tomorrow or Saturday morning. 😂
Saturday morning sounds good.
I like this forum. I can talk to you.
You know I hate to call you 😉
Air leak on the air intake.
Thanks Rob 😎
Get back to work 😛

Rob has been awful quiet lately, maybe he needs a day off. 😂
Any updates?
