There is a normal sorta high pitched hissing sound from the
thing. If someone forgot to add the friction modifier it
can get a bit noisier. The hissing sound is sorta metallic
in nature, but I sure wouldn't call it a whine, and it
isn't that audible unless you are driving in quiet territory.
I'd check for a dinged pumpkin, the fluid level, and then
pull the cover and see if you have abnormal wear.

Unless of course, your mother-in-law regularly rides in the
back seat...

The "bent aluminum housing" I was writing about is your rear
differential.

That hag...she ate all of my Otis Spunkmeyer pastries one day while I
ran back into supermarket to get some hot chocolate to go with, so now
she rides in the cargo area.

Your "metallic" reference reminded me of two things it sounds like:

1. My father's table saw slowing down from high-rev
2. Boeing 747 turbo's being rev'ed just before take off.

The sound is definitely metallic. Superposed on that is another sound
that is more like...

Rorh!...Rorh!...Rorh! - It's speed sensitive and is guaranteed
present no matter how long or short the trip.

Finally, I could have sworn I heard a faint remnant of the metallic
sound even when the Jeep was standing still, but not sure, will check.

The normal one really isn't that loud, quieter than a normal
suv type tire on rain, can't even hear it with the heater
fan on at all.

Think I'd ask your vehicle's proctologist to take a look at the
rear end.

That would be something else...
