How does a bad stock differential sound like?

I think my stock LSD is going bad. This happens only while turning and accelerating, just before it breaks loose. It's a loud ROAR and corresponding vibration which I think it's coming from the differential as it vibrates the whole chassis. It also happens in a straight line if I accelerate at WOT in a semi-slippery surface but it's intermittent (maybe because of the torque split is more even?). What do you guys think?
