Car makes groaning noise ONLY when raining

Like the title says, only when it rains does my car make a groaning noise, you can feel it resonate in the pedal too.

Is it when turning? Mine does too... for one turn then it goes away. It's the differential groan. Changing to a better fluid usually does the trick. I just haven't gotten around to doing it.

Just changing to fresh oem fluid fixed it for me. I wouldn’t mess with the formula that was designed to match the clutches in that specific unit. Just my .02

No its only when accelerating, it doesn't make it when its turning.

Is the sound coming from the front or rear?
