Anyone out there have ideas on why my tahoe is suddenly making loud rear end noise? When I hit around 50mph it gets loud and stops about 30mph. I don't see anything rubbing and nothing seems abnormally hot.

My 07 needed a complete rear end because of noise. Bearings were all spun and shot, backlash was awful. Cheapest solution was to throw a rebuilt used rear end in it. Best to have a rear end guy drive it. If they're good, they'll know exactly what it is when they hear it.
When was the last time the fluid was changed?

Sounds like bearings or something inside has gone out.
I would guess pinion bearing.

Luckily I caught mine right after I bought it from the dealer. The dealer tried to tell me it was normal, so I brought it back to them 3 times the same week until they fixed it. They replaced both pinion bearings and actuator and some other things as well.
