Excessive Noise

I'm having my SAAB dealer check out some road noise coming from the rear end of my 2005 9-5. Last year when I complained about the noise the service manager told me it was probably just uneven wear on some aggressively treaded tires. So I lived with the noise until it was driving me nuts and got some new tires last week. Alas, the new Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum's did not return my black wagon to it original stealthiness.
It's not a subtle irritating noise--when we're pulling into the garage we can't believe how loud we've turned up the radio so that we can hear it over the road noise from the back-end. The best way I can describe the noise is a fairly steady thumping vibration that increases with the speed of the tire rotation. Seems louder on the passenger side.
Any advice about what I should ask them to be looking for?
