BTW - I tried the app that was mentioned in this thread in two vehicles and it showed 9dB higher than my real dB meter.

Nice that you posted finding the solution to your problem. That will help others.
Now that I think of it when I purchased my car it had a similar noise but in my case it was speed related. The seller slickly explained away it away but in fact the noise was not corrected until I switched out the rear tires which had flat spotted due to lack of rotation. I had forgotten about that.
