If something were awry in the rear end, it would indeed make some noise.....

Check your trans fluid. (auto, right?)

Also check the trans mount. Might as well replace it if it never has been. 15 minute job and part cost $25 at part store. Mine with a manual did the same thing. Thought it was pinion at first but it was a loose mount. New mount did the trick.
