Why does my car make a low pitched noise?

It starts to make a noise the faster that I go the more high-pitched the noise gets when you slow down the noise gets more low-pitched. It’s coming from the rear of the car it almost sounds like it is not shifting gears but it is shifting could it be as simple as greasing the rear end?

Why does my rear differential make a noise?

The noise is either made from a a lack of gear oil, something is misaligned due to wear, or both (lack of gear oil causing wear). If getting your rear differential back to a proper oil level doesn’t solve the noise, you need to start looking at repair.

Why does my car make noise when I shift gears?

It’s coming from the rear of the car it almost sounds like it is not shifting gears but it is shifting could it be as simple as greasing the rear end? You need to check for evidence of gear oil leakage from the rear differential of the vehicle. It sounds like you are low, causing the noise.

Why does my car make a noise when I am low?

It sounds like you are low, causing the noise. If it is low, and you have been driving it for a while like this, you may have caused damage to the ring/pinion gears, or possibly the bearings. The obvious places to find leakage is at the pinion seal, which where the driveshaft is attached to the yoke of the differential.
