First, check all your motor mounts.
Second, pull the rear end cover (unless it's a 9-inch) and see if there are metal shavings in the bottom of the pumpkin. The mesh on the pinion and ring gear might be off.
This could also be tire noise. Tough to tell, a lot of things could cause a humming noise. When you're "getting on it" do you feel any strange vibrations in the car, through the steering wheel, etc.?

Find level some ground and put the rear of the car SECURELY up on jack stands and block the front wheels. Have a helper run the car through the rpms while you listen to the engine, trans, and rear from outside the car to try to isolate the noise. Inspect further once you figure which component is making thse noise. If there is no noise this way, it could very be your tires. It beats trying to listen with your head out the window.

It sounds like the rear. When you set up the gears what was the back lash and what did the coast pattern look like?
All the power in the world don't mean a thing if you can't get it to the ground!
