Default sign of broken axle or diff?

Hi Guys,

I did a quick pull this morning and I heard a loud noise from the rear, then it started to grind extremly loud. I think it sounds like broken axle but I'm not sure. All week I heard some kind of noise, but I wasn't sure what it was or where it was coming from due to my loud exhaust and turbo.

What are some of the signs and symptoms for broken axle or diff??

Nope. It can break a tooth and get really loud. I ran my wounded diff for a week until it exploded.
