Mine does it too, humms only when I lift. They don't all do it, something is bad. I've got another diff waiting to go in, I'll report back what the problem was when I do a tear down.

Check your oil level, my diff had a leaky right axle seal (above exhaust) and I think the leak allowed the diff to run low on oil.

I've driven mine with the humming for over a year. I didn't drive many miles though, about 6K, but I did manage to make it to about 10 auto-xes.

Check your brake rotor heat shields, could be bent or contacting the rotor and this will cause a humm.
