there are many different reasons might cause this problem.
1st check your engine/tranny mounts to make sure they are not loose.

did you drive your car around in the parking lot in the reverse gear? If the noise gets louder, when you're in reverse and back up in a circle, the outer joints is bad.

also your wheel is out of balance might cause this problem. usually it occours between 45-60 mph.

over all, a more likely cause this kinda of problem is a bad inner or outer tripod CV joint. The vibration or noise occurs becuase one of the three roller tracks has become dimpled or rough that every time the tripod roller on the bad track hits the rough spot, it creates a little jerk in the driveline.
