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...

That sounds like a worn ring and pinion, or a bad axle bearing. Does it get
louder when you are going faster or when you increase the load such as going
up a hill? "Rorh!...Rorh!...Rorh!" has to be ring and pinion...

Yeah, the "Rorh!...Rorh!...Rorh!" gets louder and increases in
frequency as I get up to highway speeds (55-80). At that point, it's
loud and unnerving, but not so loud to as to be unbearable, as if that
make sense.

I've never used it to tow anything, and have not paid attention on
hills, so don't know. How could this happen? It started when Jeep
was less than 3 years old.

Hi Chaud,
Crawl underneath and you will see the bit marks on the aluminum
