Default 2013 Honda Pilot Differential noise

Hi all,
have a 2013 Pilot with 70k miles.
I am trying to pinpoint noise in rear differential.
it occurs 40-70 mph and is louder when vehicle shifts weight to left side. I have put new Honda AtM fluid in but the noise continues.
need help?
thanks!

Does it occur under load only or while coasting also.
Record it for us.

I'd look at the wheel bearings.

we have checked wheel bearings last 2 brake jobs and they look fine.
sounds more like axle bearing or diff gears or pinion?
i did try to upload video but even when I shortened it - it exceeded 20 mb cutoff.
thanks

I would suspect the pinion. Side bearings will be on load only.
