Escape AWD rear driveline whine
Not only do I have an OBS Ford pickup, but I also have a 2015 Escape SE with the “smart 4wd” which I am guessing is really AWD with some extra features.
As I am driving on the highway, I can hear a “driveline speed” high pitched whine in the rear section. Is this a normal thing? I got this car from my mother’s estate, and my wife loves it so we want to keep it. I’ve just never heard noise like that.

Before you spend the money for a "Diff Service" try rotating the tires - straight front to rear. See if that makes a difference.

That is definitely worth trying.
