Actually sounds more like a horn blowing when cruising at a steady speed on the highway. Have noticed it seems to be getting louder. Plan on taking it in to the dealer later today but am clueless about what the noise is. Seems I remember a tsb about gear whine and the fix is an additive to quiet it. Sound right to you guys?

This is all I can find for a TSB close to that:

Drivetrain - Rear Axle Hum/Whine

ISSUE
Some 2005-2006 Mustangs may exhibit an axle whine or hum during acceleration, deceleration and/or cruise.

ACTION
An axle repair kit has been developed which incorporates most parts required for a comprehensive axle repair. The kit should be used instead of installing a complete axle assembly to repair an axle whine/hum.
