freakin me out

For the last 3 weeks I've been going insane trying to figure out wtf this weird sound/vibration that my truck has had starting at 50-55 mph and around 2000 rpms. It would start so low I felt it before I heard it and it seemed to be coming from the drivetrain. I checked u joints and driveshafts, I pulled over on the highway and crawled around under the truck...nothing. Completely baffled until sunday(father's day) when I took the fam Kayaking. While I had the yak tied on I didn't hear a thing, evidently, my rack hums when it is empty and the vibration is transmitted throughout the body.
Anybody have any suggestions about sound dampeners that will quiet this down?
Sorry about the long post.
