Normally a loud whine will occur.

Sometimes a clunking sound will happen when you move off from standstill.

Always a good plan to check the oil level in the Differential casing.

What is a rear differential axle?

Vehicles with front wheel drive have a straight rear axle meaning there is no gear housing in the rear axle. Vehicles that are rear wheel drive have a gear box in the middle of the rear axle to change the rotation of a drive shaft to turn the rear axle. If you look under a full size pick up truck rear axle you will see a large gear box (typically referred to as a pumpkin) in the middle area of the axle. That is the gear box differential.
