Default Grinding noise in first and second gear. Rear end?

A few times a day I get this grinding noise, more like a drag or vibration when I'm taking off in first at normal speeds. It does it a little bit in second, but mainly in first.

I think it's coming from the rear end. What could it be? Are the ring and pinions going out? Bad differential? Or could it be something else?

Bump...

It's more of a dragging feeling in first and second. What could it be?

Have you checked the brakes? Rear end would be more consistent.

You may get more responses in a the trans sections or the rear/gears section.
