Rumbling Vibration 2000 EX

Hey guys got a real weird problem here. My 2000 EX has been making this sound for probably 3 weeks and I haven't been able to locate it. It happens within 5-10 minutes of starting the car and driving. It's a rough rumbling grinding sound with a vibration on the driver side. It will do this once or twice than quit. The sound only happens with I'm moving. The sound is similar to driving over a rumble strip on a highway but the sound doesn't seem to be coming from the wheel area, seems more under the pedals. Anyone have this before or any ideas?

Thanks

Does it stop or worsen as you speed up?
When was the last time the motor mounts were replaced?

Seems to get worse if I speed up and slowly disappears if I stop accelerating. I'm not sure about the motor mounts but I'm going to guess fairly recent because it was engine swapped about a month ago.

Figured it out if anyones interested. It ended up being either the passenger side wheel bearing or tie rod. Both were gone.

Wheel bearings/Hubs make that noise when they go bad. If one was shot, the other side won't be far behind.
