school me on gear lube?

alright guys my wheel bearing on my 86 went out in the back causeing the axle shaft eject, rebuilt it with new bearings and put 85-90w gear lube in the rear end, truck has 5.29s and a detriot, now that the new gear lubes in its makeing a humming sound, not like its about to explode or anything and in 2 weeks it hasnt gotten worse, i even pulled the 3rd and checked the bearings and teeth and they were fine, the rear end orginally had 75-90w in it but as soon as i went heavier it appeared to start this humming? so tell me? could a heavier gear lube be the culprit? or am i missing something different? never made a sound with 75-90w except for locker pop, ideas?
