how much noise
With my new hearing aids I'm discovering that my rear end makes a constant whining noise when under load. Let off the accelerator and the noise pretty much goes away. Reminds me of straight cut gears, but not as loud. So do rear ends in 330 GT's typically make some noise at highway speed?

The first two sentences of your post could be taken in more than one way. I am so glad you mentioned your car at the end. Mike

Re: how much noise
I recently traced a similar noise to the three-piece pinion shaft bearing.

Re: how much noise
Quite by accident... I couldn't stop some minute oil seeping past the lip seal so I replaced the car's original front pinion bearing with a Japanese sealed unit, in effect damming the oil. The slight turbine-like noise went away, but it wasn't the noise I was hunting, it was the leak. I came to the conclusion that the bearing was the source of the noise. The car's original bearing is a piece unit, a real engineering beauty.
