I'm not sure exactly what the noise could be except that most likely it's in the drivetrain somewhere between the tranny, transfer case, or the rear-differential (AKA: rear-diff, rear-end or third member). None of which would be cheap to repair.
I'm pretty sure the intermittency you're experiencing is because whatever is causing the noise, is only worn & not fully gone yet, but will be soon. Unfortunately, I wouldn't know how to further pinpoint this noise, maybe someone else could???
from your description it is possible that the low brake pad warning tag is activated indicating tat the brake pads are worn out
it is a small tag that rubs on the disc just before the pads damage the rotor
as sound travels it could be a rear wheel with the problem
to check , take the vehicle to an accredited brake specialist shop and have the pad thickness checked
to be safe the thickness has to be 1/8 " or better
look for loose disconnected rear suspension components.also check for loose driveshaft bolts.inspect all nuts bolts to the specified torque.if everything check out okay.you have worn or damaged universal joint bearings.
first i would check the tires , are they cupped or chopped on the tread? run your hand over the tread and see if it feels rough and uneven. take the truck to a auto repair shop and have them jack both front and rear axles off the ground, put the truck in 2 wheel drive and run the speedometer to the speed you usually hear the roaring noise, if you don't hear the noise , put the truck in 4 wheel drive, turn off the traction assist if it has one and run it to the speed you would hear the noise. if you hear the roaring noise with tires off the ground, the problem is in the drivetrain, (engine, transmission, transfer case, u-joints, differentials or the front left or right cv halfshafts or u-joints). the older models (97 98) had the front two driveshafts from the differential turning all the time, they engaged in 4 wheel drive from the transfer case and a solenoid on the front differential. depending on the miles you have on this truck, the most likely areas i would look at would be the tires, u-joints/cv joints, and front and rear wheel bearings. thanks and good luck.
