Hey guys! Maybe you can help diagnose a noise.
I've had the rear gears replaced 3 times now. The first two times, a part was left out that needed to be in there. The 3rd time they got it right (at least partially) and I've been riding smooth.
I have a noise though. It sounds like cicadas or a skill saw/table saw running. It gets louder the faster I go. It isn't terribly loud, but it is noticeable. Also if I drive by a concrete wall on a bridge or something with the window down, I hear it from the outside some also.
My questions are:
*Is this normal? I think not, but I've never had this thing NOT make noise since I got it. Bad gears my whole ownership so far.
*Is this something I should be worried about? Will it harm the Jeep?
*I've put about 350-500 miles on the Jeep since the last gear replacement. Could they still be in the process of settling?
This is almost exactly what the noise sounds like:

Thanks for the help in advance.
Edit: Here's a youtube video of how the gears sounded before they were replaced again. It no longer sounds like this, but I'm putting this up for reference in case others have this same problem in the future.
