I got all kinds of problems! (not really) When I drive now I get this LOUD humming/vibrating noise coming from what sounds like directly under my rear view mirror under the floor...

It doesnt vibrate so much as it makes it impossible to hear anything else. I've ruled out brake pads and it doesnt fallow my RPMs just goes according to speed. around 28, 38 and 48 miles an hour is when its worst, it trails off quieter inbetween those speeds but never goes away.

I read on a chevy forum a few days ago and they sounded like they had a similar problem and it was the U joint of their front drive shaft, as it always turns... Does that sound likely? and if it is how do you check it and/or replace it?
