Does your car have all wheel drive? The all wheel drive cars have that problem with the transfer case sometimes. The cure is $600 worth of transfer case fluid.

It's actually rear wheel drive but I'll definitely look into that and see what's going on with it now.

Can you re-create the noise if the car is not moving? If the noise is present only when the car is in motion and RPM depend, start with the wheel bearing especially if your has 150k+ miles and front bearings were never replaced.

Try going over speed bumps slowly while having your wheels turns almost all the way. If it creaks like a pirate ship, then it’s usually bushings.
