I think I found the source of the noise. With the car up on ramps I saw that the tie down hook/eye attached to the driver's side of the subframe is about an eighth of an inch from the automatic transmission case. I had recently bent this hook (with a hammer) to a different position because it it was bent up against the sub-frame so you couldn't really get a hook in there (I ship my car overseas now and then so it has to be strapped down on the ship).
I believe the noise I was hearing was actually a vibration (trans. case rattling against the sub-frame hook). When turning right the engine would shift slightly to the left and touch this hook.
Anyway, going to bend the hook into a different position and see what that does.
