It's difficult to diagnose without hearing it. If it changes pitch with vehicle speed or throttle manipulation, then I would lean towards a gear clearance issue, either caused by improper setup or worn bearings. Also, there are two types of gear profiles. One is more prone to noise that the other, making proper set up more critical. I've run into this in 8.8 ford mustangs, they are the worst for noisy 3.73's.
