What does the noise sound like?

More info is needed to diagnose the problem.

Ex. Clicking, etc.

If it is a hum that increases with speed and goes slightly away turning the wheel, left or right, it is most likely a wheel bearing. Left quiet is left bearing and right quiet is right bearing.

It sounds like the CV axles to me. He said it gets louder when he goes around corners, and CV's click like hell when they go bad.

its no clicking.

it may be the wheel?

to be more specific on the noise i would compare it to a truck under the car lol its really hard to explain.

but can anyone tell me what sound the lsd would make if it were that?

ok, does it do it when you sit still and rev the engine? cuz, i had a my exhaust heat shiel come loos and was bent up contacting the undercarriage, and when i revved the engine it sounded like a freight train was under my car, and then i fixed, i took the heat shield off, but then i hit a speed bumb which knocked my front lower strut bar up into my my downpipe which mad a similar noise, maybe when you turn it flexes the car and causes contact with something which makes the noise.

I know what you mean by that. It sounds to me like your wheels are rubbing on the wheel well. And i don't think the lsd would be making a noise, unless something were wrong with it.

nope there is no noise when i sit and rev only when im moving. ill definitely have a look underneath the car and see if there are any loose things.

jack the car up and look at the wheel wells, if it is rubbing it will be obvious, you will see where the tire was rubbing. And if it is the case then raise the car up (if it was lowered) or smaller tires.
