You likely have a misfire. You will have to scan the code to be sure. You might have something simple as a clogged injector or a dead spark plug. If you don't have an OBDII scanner, AutoZone will scan it for free but you definitely don't want to drive far until you know what's wrong with it. Chances are you should have it towed to a professional mechanic if you're unable to scan it yourself.

Hello
Here is a guide to noises in the rear end/differential
1. Gear noise: Gear Noise starts at about 45-65 MPH, is a steady whining noise that goes away when you let off the gas or accelerate

2. Bearing noises in ring and pinion bearings: If the noise is very loud and seems to be faster than the car is moving and gets much louder as speed increases and is very high pitched then that is a Pinion gear bearing noise. Ring gear carrier bearing (2) noises are lower in pitch and there all the time no matter the speed.

3. Wheel bearing noises: Start at about 15 MPH heard better at low speed, the noise will change when you turn as the load on the axle bearing is increased and decrease, it is a growling noise not a whine.

As a former Ford dealer Mechanic I would like to point out that this kind of failure is covered under your "Powertrain Warranty" this extended part of the factory warranty covers the engine, transmission and differential. Check with your local dealer, but I'm sure you qualify at 18,000 miles
