might be as simple as pre ignition ping. maybe bad gas or too low octane. just doesnt seem like a rear end sound though you have to suspect it because it started making the noise soon after. not likely the diff parts, maybe something else was not put back right, check the rear brakes for a loose caliper or some such issue. its always hard to judge a noise problem by proxy. to me a ting is a ting your ting might be more of a clunk to me for example.
my son recently called me while driving here from his school. he was so worried about this noise that he thought maybe he should just park it at the next rest stop. granted my ears are not what they were 20 years ago but i still hear fairly well and when i got the chance his noise was so slight that i could barely hear it, definatlay not over the radio. i suspected tire noise, bad belt or something got stuck in the tread. seems to be fine though, i reccomended he just turn up the radio a bit more lol
