Why does my rear axle make a squeaking noise?
It is possible that the axle bearings are causing the squeaking noise that you hear, but axle bearings usually make a roaring or humming noise. Another possibility is that the rear brakes are low and causing a squeaking noise while driving.
Why does my rear differential make a noise?
There also could be a problem with the rear differential itself. The gears in the differential could be rubbing metal to metal, or it is possible that a part of the differential has come apart and is causing a noise.
What kind of noise does an axle shaft make?
This can often point you towards a suspect part. It may also eliminate other items that can be mistaken for axle shaft bearing noise. Bad axle bearings often make a growling or rumbling sound at highway speeds.
Why is my axle bearing making a growling noise?
It may also eliminate other items that can be mistaken for axle shaft bearing noise. Bad axle bearings often make a growling or rumbling sound at highway speeds. Changing lanes may cause the noisy bearing to either increase or decrease the noise level.

What’s the difference between front and rear differential noise?
Only difference between a wheel bearing noise and a rear differential noise would be the fact that the wheel bearing noise will change with wheel speed but usually will not change with load variations (accelerations/decelerations) while the noise from a rear differential will change with wheel speed and load.
