Question bearing sound under acceleration???

I have an awd 2004 T6 and when the car is being accelerated there is a distinct whirring dry bearing type of sound coming from what sounds like the front left hand side or driveshaft area. I have checked wheel bearings but they seems ok, given thats exactly what it sounds like. Perhaps the uni joints in the driveline ? doed the front to rear driveshaft spin all of the time in an AWD?? No mechanic has had any luck and basically im just waiting for something to fail to diagnose the noise. Any help or thoughts would be appreciated

I would remove the driveshaft from the front to rear and see if the noise goes away.

Take it all out. I think it is a 5MM allen on each end.
You will have to drop the bracket down some to slide it out.
