how does a person 'spin' the pinion bearing?
ditto.. and could a bad pinion bearing cause vibration/rattle/buzzing on decelleration?

I'd love to hear this noise - any chance of taking a short video from inside the cabin?

OK.. Here are some vids, the best that I could get of my problem. If anyone can see if they have the same sound.. then maybe we can figure it out.

(you will have to turn up speakers a little bit to hear) I have stock exhaust, so most/all of the noise is this vibration/rattle thing.

This first one, at about the 1.5 second mark, I let off the gas pedal all the way, and then the buzzing starts. Its about 3k rpm when letting off. It'll do it a bit more if I feather the gas letting off.

This one i let off at about the same spot. You can start to hear the more vibration part near the end.

I think a bunch of people have had the same problem (myself included).

Does it sound similar?

This member also had a similar problem.

His turned out to be wheel hub and bearing.

That's what I'm leaning towards. My replacement hubs and bearings are going to be installed on Thursday.

If that doesn't take care of it, the diff will be swapped Friday along with CV joints.

That is definitely not the same noise I am getting. Mine is higher pitched "cleaner" whine.
