Question Drivetrain noise, need some help diagnosing

After my swap of all used parts I have an awful buzzing noise/mild vibration coming from the front. It almost sounds like driving on a rumble strip on the side of the road. It increases intensity with speed, not rpm and still makes the noise in neutral or with the clutch in. It gets worse when I make a left on the freeway and lessens when I'm sweeping right. I've triple checked to make sure there are no loose bolts and such. There is no play in the wheels, as I have seen if the bearing is going out. Is it still possible for the bearing to be bad but not have any play? Maybe a cv joint? The boots are still good.
I am stuck
Maybe someone that is good with this stuff would be willing to take it for a spin to see what you think?? I would rather not take it to the dealer but I want to make sure nothing is going to go horribly wrong if I auto X this weekend.
Thanks for any input.
