What does Differential Bearing Noise sound like ??

Alright is it a whine through the gears getting louder and louder as you excelerate or is a little whine that you get in every gear after you let off the gas ??

Im getting a noise when I let off the gas in every gear, like a gear noise that may be my bearings are bad or the VLSD in my tranny with 63K miles on it ??
what do you think ??

This will be "take it with a grain of salt" advice, since my only experience is with my truck.

Diff noise is a soft whining that gains pitch but not necessarily volume as it your wheels turn faster.

What you are describing sounds something like a throw-out or pilot bearing problem.
