It's a known issue with rear ends. It's difficult to get them to run
quietly. They have to be adjusted by somebody that knows how, and it takes
patience and trial and error. Most people wouldn't bother.

My rear end makes noise, too. It's more of a 'whooshing' sound than
whirring. Then, there is usually a smell associated with it as well
(usually immediately following the sound).

Smell of burnt rubber perhaps?
