Default Rear end noises

Maybe someone can help on some noises I have. When I reach 45-50 I get what I'n pretty sure is differential whine. Is this normal? I just bought it (2002 Formula) last fall and I'm still getting used to what this car does. I'm pretty sure it also has a bad left rear bearing as I get a rhythmic rumble from there at about the same speed. 68k miles on this puppy. Advice would be great as to best replacement parts and as to whine might be adjusted out somehow.
Thanks

A Little whine is normal, rumble is probably a bad axle shaft worn where the bearing rides. DON"T BUY a Dorman replacement axle kit like I just did, It's a piece of junk. I seen rock auto has the good US gear axles for 68 dollars! NEW!

Default I did buy a Dorman

I did buy a Dorman and it was perfect. What happened to yours? What was better about the Rock Auto one?
