possibly the diff is on its way out, but before condeming it , check/change the oil and have a good look at the large bushing in the rear casing for wear, if the car is jacked on the diff, the mount will fail and can cause noise as you describe to travell into the cabin

Have you checked that a nagging girlfriend is not in the rear passenger's seat?
a la "you said you'd take me to Topshop after we'd done B&Q"
Sorry i couldn't resist!
