I think it may be keeping time with wheel revolutions, but I'm not positive.  I guess it does not keep time with engine revs because after slowing and then downshifting (still climbing uphill) I still hear it sometimes.  And I don't think the cadence changed.  

It sounds like it's from the left rear, but that may be just because the driver's window was down every time I have heard it.  

I'll have a look at the engine and trans mounts tonight.  Maybe wiggle the RR axle shaft to check that CV, too.  Thanks for all the input.
