Resonance from rear end 200 1982

I guess that the best way to describe it. The noise shows up as I am pulling away from a stop as everyone is looking at me, it disappears as I travel over ~10-15 mph. Its pretty darn loud. There is no vibration or assoc. clunks, just a god awful noise.

What I have done to the car recently-- not in an effort to fix this noise though:

Tailshaft bushing / seal
Driveshaft U-joints
Center Bearing / Carrier
Torque Rod Bushings
Rear Trailing Arm Bushings

Shocks are in bad shape -- those are next, but I cant imagine thats the cause. The rotors are a little under spec, and the brakes squeak just for a second as they are applied (as have all my volvos). Could there be a condition in the rear brakes to cause such a noise or....?

P.S. I still get a little clunky noise while shifting from R to D.


Thanks,

Matt
