Default Excessive gear noise

got the car back today. 9" gear noise is REDICULOUS at highway cruizing speeds (is so loud people can hear it on the phone when they are talking to me). The gears were broken in properly. What should i do? This can't be normal!

Take it back immediately and have the gears re-set. Sometimes it takes a few tries.

Car already has over 1000 miles on rear end. Is the damage already done?
