If your pinion depth is wrong, and that will make a load high pitched sound.

Another possibility is you got cheaper gears. I called 3 different manufacturers of these things, and they all said the same story. Gear whine in cheaper sets is very common, and the high end sets something is wrong.

The difference is not in the gear forging, but in the quality of the machining as the final process. My 69 Camaro will have gear whine in all likelyhood, but I won't hear it over the 500hp loud exhaust. Problem solved

So all is good.
