Without actually hearing the noise it's hard to say.
There is some natural noise the diff. will make when the wheels are turned with the backend off the ground.
There is clearance between the various gears in the diff. that will make a clanging/rattling type noise when you turn the wheels back and forth off the ground.

What noise are you hearing when you're driving?

That doesn't sound good.
Does it sound just like that when you're driving?

That diff is pooched.

Don't even drive it. Have it towed to the dealer.
