Default SC400 Sound/Noise

I have been battling a little with my recently purchased 95 SC400. When I accelerate, I hear a good throaty sound, goes away while coasting. I only hear it on the right side. I was thinking it is wheel bearing noise, but upon checking it on a lift, the wheel is rock solid (i.e. no movement when rocking the wheel). Anybody care to advise?
