Default weird sound coming from rear

i have a 2004 rx330, 67000 miles. theres some kind of a sound that comes from the rear that can be heard in the cabin. its a buzzing sound kind of like winch thats rewinding. the buzzing sound lasts about a second. most of the time it can be heard when the vehicle is in motion.

anyone can determine what this is?

It's the chainsaw of Ed Gein.

Check your axles. Maybe something got stuck?

starting today i am hearing a sound that sounds like wind buffeting, while the car is in motion, even when all the windows are up and locked.

Might be the license plate or frame. Mine was driving my wife nuts. Added screws and nuts to secure lincese platre to lincese frame and that did it. Quiet now.
