I have an 05 GT which appears to be whining more from the rear axle lately. It came stock with 3.55s. Anyone had this problem? What's the cause? I didn't seem to notice this until the last couple of weeks. I have 17K miles on the car.
Is this only happening while turning? Primarily at lower speeds?

Did they say what was causing the "moan?" It feels like an overly tight differential to me, like a pseudo-spool.
I've been in cars with gear whine before. The moan is pleasant by comparison. Neither is really acceptable on a new car like these, IMO.
I need to make them tear it apart again. Any other thoughts?
Nope. Rear-ends are something of a "mystery-box" to me. *pauses for snickering*
I would just take to them and tell them to fix it. I don't care how, just do it. Keep making them do it until it gets done right, just so I could screw it all up a couple years later when I had gears put in.
Is your car an automatic or a stick? I'm thinking I see more of the rear end problems noted here from folks with the stick shift, but maybe its just me. Just curious if that is a good observation and what it may mean.
Is it possible that they shimmed it wrong when they did the rear axle TSB a couple of months ago??? Again, the whine seems to occur after the car has been driven a few miles - maybe after teh axle heats up???
