Bearings going?

Hi Guys,
My 96 2.0L 16V Ultima has developed a "Thrum Thrum Thrum" noise when driving. The noise speeds up in keeping with the road speed. I can't seem to identify where the noise is coming from.
Over the weekend I jacked the old girl up and checked each corner, thinking it was probably a wheel bearing on it's way out. I couldn't find any play in the bearing, nor any noise when turning the wheels by hand.
Could it be a driveshaft/diff about to give in?
Thanks in advance.

Does it seem to move from front to back or can you pin point it to a corner?
It could be the prop UJ or center bearing

Even with passenger in car, we couldn't identify a corner. I hadn't thought of the prop shaft though. I'll jack her up and have feel for play or roughness in the UJ or central bearing. Center bearing seems like a good call
