1998 S70 GLT rumbling on mild acceleration

I don't know if this is just being nitpicky, or indicative of an actual issue.

Under mild/light acceleration, the car "rumbles". I don't know how else to describe the noise.
It is still accelerating, perhaps not as quickly as it should, but then again, it has 263k miles on it.

If I give it 75%-100%, it moves with no hesitation and sounds normal.

Vacuum leak?

What error code do you have? My car has over 300,000 miles on it and pulls like a train.

No CELs, No service light.

Could it be a worn axle?

The car does have it's original axles... just replaced a CV boot less than 100 miles ago.
