It's not the generator. I know what a screaming generator sounds like.

This noise only happens when the car is moving, and _could_ be from the 
final drive or the rear wheels. Last time I had a similar noise, it 
turned out to be a seized brake cylinder holding the brake shoe against 
the drum. Hopefully it's not the CV joints self destructing after my 
inept attention, but I don't think it is. I really need to drive the car 
around and see if it goes away, or if I can identify it.
