Eight differential noise

The differential in my 1935 Senior Eight is noisy. It has whirrr type noise to it. The car has 51,000 miles on it. My question is were these rear ends quiet when new? The gear oil has been changed, it is full. I have not disassembled the unit.
Thank You
Andy

Yes, they were silent when new, absolutely and totally silent. They are extremely well engineered and very robust, my guess is that your has suffered some neglect at some point in the past as these units quite typically can accumulate far more than 100,000 miles and still perform silently.

I have another 35 eight rear axle. I have to check to see what ratio is. Let me know if you're interested.
