how does a bad cv-joint sound like?

when i drive uphill,i got a grinding sound from the rear of the car,its worse when cornering, and seems to allmost go away when the car is warm.but its still there

when dont press the throttle the sound stops, and i feel someting vibrate.

i have canged both flex disc,and the support bearing to the drive shaft, i also have changed the brake disc and the brake pads,and them rear shocks
i also have changed some bushings in the rear,and a new transmission,and engine mounts,and gearbox mounts.the sound gets higher day after day,what can cause this,and can the cv-joints make this sounds??.
I am thinking cv-joints cause it only happends when i press the throttle.
my car is a w211 220cdi 2008 with 425000km

i really would like to find out whats wrong, cause the car is starting to get nice, and the gearbox change gears very nice, so i dont think it can be something wrong with the overhauling of it,i also changed the converter.

Is this Lars the cod fisherman---well if this was my car, I am FG it ain't, I would put the car on a lift\noise probe(coat hanger)---do I get the same sounds with no load on the car?

PS: do not put the coat hanger in your ear!!
