I would guess it is the alternator or other belt driven component. I would suggest running the vehicle temporarily with the belts off to see if the noise persists

2007 XC90 loud "gear hum". JA: Thanks. Can you give me any
Gear hum is especially noticeable between 30 and 70 MPH, above 70 and the hum either stops or changes in frequency as to not be as noticeable. -- I've put the transmission in neutral while driving at speed... no change to the sound. I also turned off the engine while in neutral and coasting at 60mph... no change in the sound. I've swerved to the right and left to check for wheel bearings... no change in sound. A local shop told me it "sounded like differential"... I can't seem to find a place to check the transmission fluid, and Jiffy Lube says there is no filling drain plug for them to check transfer case and rear diff fluid levels. -- I'm hoping it is just a simple matter of low fluid. … read more
