Set up the video camera for this one, this could be one of those "me and my
brother-in-law tried this once" moments. LOL :)
But may be a good way to try and isolate area of noise.

Have you tried this : Have a driver sit in the suv with trans. in Drive,
parking brake on, foot on the brake pedal, and chocks in front of the
wheels ...and as the driver gives it bit of gas... you stand to the
side of the car with the hood open and listen .
REPLY: The O.P. did this , and he emailed me. He said the noise
occured. Theres nothing wrong with doing it this way, so long as safety
is considered above all else.

No offense intended, Dave. You did specify good safety precautions.
It just brings me back to some of my own ill conceived and hair brained
schemes or watching my Dad "troubleshoot" equipment over the years. He woke
up once lying beside his pickup in the snow! The tow rope broke, snapped
back, caught him on the top of his head as he poked it outside and around
the open drivers door. Big welt, big headache, and big laughs. Course how
many times have we had our nuckles whacked by the fan, or picked up a good
shock from the plug wires.
didn't mean to hijack coco's thread.

Theres nothing like getting your Timing Light cord in the fan as your
checking Timing on an engine ; all of a sudden everything leaves your
hands in a hurry and youre left holding nothing !
