I had the same problem occur on our Journey at 300 miles. We would hear it from a dead stop acceleration and in left turns. The final solution, after a new power steering pump was put in (wrong), was a new exhaust system from front to rear. Go ask the dealer to change it.
Chrysler need a better database for information sharing between dealerships. Maybe they should read this forum!

I've noticed something similar when making a moderate to hard left turn. It sort of reminded me of a cavitation sound in the power steering. Not certain as to where it's coming from. It could also be a problem in the CV joint. I only experience it in left turns though.

I just picked mine up from the service department for the third time. First time; replaced power Steering Pump. Nope. Second time; separated AC lines. Nope. Now I call Chrysler and start a case file on the car. Third time; dealer replaced entire exhaust system. No more noise ('cavitation sound') when turning left.
There seems to be a cerain amount of whine that is just associated with the drivetrain. Turn up Sirius channel 62 and it seems to go away!
I hope this will help someone else experiencing the same problem.
Unusual "growling" noise....dealer hasn't found the cause as yet

The problem with your Journey related to the growling noise is the exhaust system. I had the exact same problem. After three attempts to fix the problem, a new exhaust system remedied the situation. I know what you are thinking... What an idiot to suggest such a thing..., but it is true. When you turn the car to the left or accelerate from a stop, somethin is causing the exhaust system parts to resonate and make this sound.
