I had the same noise once.  It would come and go.  Usually, I could 
swerve the car back and forth and get it to stop.  Occasionally, that 
didn't work and I would have to stop the car, back up for a few feet, 
then motor on without the noise.  I decided it was just a rock/pebble 
rubbing on the drive shaft.

When I was getting my rear Dinan sway bar put in (you need a lift), the 
exhaust was lowered.  I had my mechanic remove the heat shield and a few 
rocks came out.

Haven't heard the noise since...
