Rear end death wine?
I gutted my back seat and trunk yesterday to take it to an auto x, on the way there on the highway around 70mph only under acceleration it seemed like the rear end had "death wine". but whenever I coasted or was off the gas, it made no noise. Has anyone else had this problem? It wasnt very loud but was definetly noticable. Didnt happen at low speeds or anything just between 70-80 mph.

fuel pump is more likely than not your issue
when you remove the rear seat they become very noisey and do to your circumstances aka partial throttle and off throttle lack of noise I would venture to guess that you are just hearing your fuel pump
the amount of gas you have in your car will also impact the noise of the pump

i think your issue is that you are not used to driving your car without seats and whatever else you took out carpets and what not,, all these items help to insulate noise,, so now that you have take all this out noise amplifies,, have you ever been in a gutted evo its loud you hear everything

It is the fuel pump. The different pitches it makes are when it is on either high flow or low flow settings. It is very high pitched and not too loud eh? Put the bottom cover back on the rear seats and see if you hear it.
