When did the noise start? Did you do any work on the truck right before the noise showed up? Did it suddenly appear or did it get louder over time?
And can you describe it better than a "winding" sound?

winding sound details
winding sound has gotten gradually louder since it started about 3 weeks ago. no work done prior to noise starting. What possibly led up to it, is a rear diff' runnin way low on gear oil. Since replenishing rear diff', the noise has not gone away. could it be propeller shaft related?

yup... just toasted my rear dif that exact same way... get it fixed soon before your pinion shaft decides to chew all the teeth off on the ring gear...
pull it... if its not too bad, then shoot ZUK (gearinstalls.com) an email... he'll sort you out...

I ask if you have gear oil in the rear only to learn it started making noise when you were low on gear oil.
Check the pinion bearings, then the carrier bearings then the wheel bearings.
