Deceleration buzzing noise?

I haven't found anything like this in the archives,
but you guys in this forum are the best...

My 97 5.7L 4x4 60kmi sub has recently begun to 'buzz' or 'vibrate' occasionaly when I let off the accelerator. This happens at any speed (5 to 65mph). Most of the time it only lasts for a second, but twice tonight on the freeway I had to shift into neutral to quiet the noise. I am not driving the sub hard when it happens.

The noise seems to be coming from beneath or in front of me. It is not very loud - the first time it happened it sounded like when you drive over a cattle guard or small grate of some kind. The sound is the same regardless of speed.

Just to confuse the issue, once it happened as I accelerated(!) from a rolling-stop.

Any guesses?

Many thanks,
Steve in Oregon
