Default Annoying sound from under the V.. Help Please

Im a new owner of a ls2 CTS-V and it has about 66k miles on it.. At times when im driving it itll make a annoying whine noise at 45 mph and as i speed up it gets louder and louder.. and when i open it up it tends to happen also.. it sounds almost like i have a window cracked and im letting air flow in, but from under the car.. at times hitting a bump or rain can set it off and it wont stop until i stop rollong (in neutral or any gear) and at other times its perfect.. if someone else has had this problem please let me know.. and if it can be resolved for cheap im all ears!! thanks

It sound like your center bearing on the drive shaft.

ive tried the tri-flow trick, maybe im not lubing the bearing correctly. have you had this problem? if so, do you have to take off the protective sheild off to lube it? because thats possibly where im going wrong..

I can't believe someone hasn't developed a 1 piece driveshaft...or a type of carrier setup that's replaceable...Maybe once there's a lot more V's around the 100k mark and the need greatens??

It is on Geforce's list after they finish up this 9" conversion (which also comes with a one piece drive shaft)
