Lots of possibilities, one could be tyre noise. Some brands of tyres are known to get noisier as they wear down. How many k's on the tyres? Edited 26/03/11 06:01 AM by Turbonator

michaelhardy Member 104 Member For: 17y 3m 15d Posted 28/03/11 05:22 AM Author Posted 28/03/11 05:22 AM its a 2009 Fg, brought it low milage 2nd in 2010,, no towbar no hard lid, noise has only just started, only happens around 107 to 114 km/hr, and only when I accellerate, doesnt matter what gear its in either, if I back off the sound goes away? am going in for a wheel alignment tomorrow to rule that out..Its driving me mad?? diff maybe?? but that was only replaced 6 months or so ago..
michaelhardy Member 104 Member For: 17y 3m 15d Posted 01/04/11 08:28 AM Author Posted 01/04/11 08:28 AM turns out it was the tail shaft center bearing, utes only done 118000 odd kms, so I wasnt happy, but then... good news.. ford will fix it under warrenty... so FULL MARKS to them
