Default Whining from back of the car?

When I am driving the car, I can hear a whine coming from the back, between the seats, I think. I cant hear it from a drive-by. Only from the inside of the car. Anyone know what it is? The previous owner said it could be the flywheel... Any ideas? When I drive it up from GA to PA, ill record a video with the sound. It sounds really cool though

I replaced both a diff and wheel bearing to kill off the whine in my car.

most likely the diff. when does it happen?...on accel? off throttle/coasting?

some gear whine is normal, anything that is too loud should be looked into though.

whining is normal. You can hear it very well if you drive with top up, windows up, and no audio. My friend said it sounded like a jet.

its not normal, check differential, i had a whining as well, and it just kept getting louder and louder. then the diff blew, luckily i had extended warranty and they covered it.
