You would feel a vibration if the drive shaft imbalance was bad enough.
It's hard to diagnose a "weird spinning sound" via the internet but I suppose it could be a worn out wheel bearing, loose engine accessory belt, something odd happening inside of the transmission, squeeky brake pads???
Provide more information if you can. Someone will come up with the right answer.
