Default Rearend groan noise?

I've noticed sometimes after work when backing out of my spot I can hear a fairly substantial groan that sounds like its from the rear. sounds like it comes from the right side more than the left, and is more often when turning while backing up, but does happen moving forward while turning. Seems to only be when it first starts moving though. Sound like a familiar/normal noise?

I have the same problem with my 99. I went to go get it checked out at 21st century muscle cars. He said its probalby the differential. You can put additive in the fluid but he said that probably woulndnt fix it. New diff 800-1000 bucks he said. I was not a happy camper. That was only "one" person's opinion though
