Start with the simple stuff. Park the car on a flat surface, lightly set the brake and rock it around. Grab each wheel and give it a shake, both on the tarmac and up on the jackstands. Grab the shocks and see if they rattle. Check the engine bay for loose widgets. Get the rear end up and spin the wheels by hand and listen for differential/driveshaft noise.
It could be an internal motor probelm, in which case PM Mr rx-7 tt, but check the chassis first.

You may also want to try disconnecting some of the accessories to see if the noise comes from the A/C, P/S, or the air pump. Make SURE you leave at least one belt on the water pump to keep it spinning!
