stupid as it sounds - i had road noise for about a week and couldn't figure out why, then i happened to hit my power rear slider button one day and i heard the "clunk" from behind me. wasn't open anymore than an 1/8 inch but wow could you really hear some noise.

haha

Most likely a wheel bearing, good diagnosis racin. Are you going to do it yourself?

try putting it in 4hi and see if the noise goes away. i think you're experiencing IWE solenoid / actuator problems. Mine sounds exactly like the hum of tires and hasn't gotten as bad as some - and i'm in the midst of fixing it. There have been several failures with them. here are a few links:
