Sounds like outer CV joints on the driveshafts are going out dave87. Check the rubber accordian boots at the outer joints and see if either is torn open and spraying grease all over the place. A bad left outer CV joint is usually indicated if noise occurs on right turns and bad right side CV joint if noise occurs on left turns and accelerating.This condition is loading up each cv joint in turn and is usually a fairly accurate way to determine which side is going out.

I agree with CV joints...It's possible both have gone bad, but it is unusual for both the fail at the same time.

Don't know what car you have....check out ebay. They're on there for $90-180 for the CV/axle assembly.
