Fine, but do more than just throw the idea out there, test and investigate. At least I'm doing real tests to find it.
1) I don't have interest in purchasing equipment for something that I think is not an issue

2) my results would hold little value as my vehicle is not the same as your & equipment would be different - my results would be moot to you with various confounders.

3) you could easily slap on your sensors near/on the diff and check the peak sound wave oscillation. If its higher/highest near/on the diff, you're closer to the source.

4) dif bushings aren't as soft as you're putting it; if the sound is able to reach your ears, those very vibrations would be able to be picked up in the engine which is connected by solid metal pieces (vibrations travels better through metal than switching through air, metal, air, fabrics, and whatever materials it goes through to get to your ear)
