Default noise in rear end

I have a 2000 coupe and have some noise in the rear end. YOu can hear it only when you take off slowly and the windows are rolled up. YOu hear it up to about 10mph and then nothing. As you slow down at a light and are just coasting you hear it again. If I have the windows down, don;t hear a thing. I added so Amoil in the rear end, but didn't help much. Ant ideas? I have been told this is a common problem (noisy gears) in C5's and I shouldn't worry. Any thoughts??

If you can only hear it with the windows up and at 10 mph only, I wouldn't worry about it. If the noise gets worse, then it would be time to repalce the gears or upgrade to different gears since you'll be paying for gears anyway.
