Thanks BDS...I thought that the alternator bearings going would be more or of a whining or mechanincal noise.

This is very much a resonance. I think that I can 'feel' it in the wheel well and it seems to be rpm related around ~2,000-2,500 rpm at different speeds.

Thats why I was thinking drivetrain - differential or trans ().

Any other ideas?
