Default Noise When Spinning Back Wheels in Neutral

Looking for brake noise on my new pads and rotors, I put the rear of the car in the air, blocked the front wheels and put it in neutral to spin the wheels. This noise occurred and seemed to be coming from the driveshaft area where it goes into the transmission (A4). Here is a video:



normal?

It's uploaded on photobucket, let me know if it doesn't work.

Link not working on my phone but if you have the axle hanging like that both u joints are pretty tweaked. Put the stands under the axles and see if it goes away if you are worried about it.

Sounds like a seal squeal. Try pulling the DS and coat the slip yoke with Vaseline.

Thank you both. And good point about the axle. I always hear some people put stands under the axle on our cars, but how, the sway bar is in the way, isn't it?
