Got the car raised with axle resting on Jack Stands, AOD in Neutral, what is normal for rear end's noise when turning wheels?

If you spin the tires with your hands, the only thing you should hear is a very, very slight click of initial axle engagement, and that's it. Nothing else from the diff. Any kind of whirring, whining, grinding, or otherwise unhappy noise is a bad sign. If your drums are adjusted properly you might hear a slight brake rub.

The sound it makes does sound like brake drums squeeling a bit, even has resistance...but I swear it's from the rear end. I will get a better listen later. This rear end did go through a Traction-lok rebuild with the carbon clutches (cobra like). I'm wondering if that is what I'm hearing.
