I don't know if anyone else has run across this, but make sure that the noise is coming from the rear end and not your 4wd hi/lo stick shifter. Any time that I decelerate, or if I'm just cruising along at a constant speed I get a "gear" noise that comes through the shifter. I have an aftermarket knob on the stick shift so that may amplify some of the noise. While it's happening, if I push on the shifter a little the noise goes away. It's done that since I bought it, and I've had all the fluids replaced to the correct level with Amsoil so I know it's all clean and full.

Just basics, but make sure your tires are the same size with similar wear AND make sure they are inflated equally. Unequal tire pressure can make a whining noise when coasting.

A bad axle bearing will make a whirr - whirr - whirr noise when coasting.
If it is bad, replace both.
They are not expensive, and both have gone around about the same number of times.
