First thing i would do is make sure the lug nuts are tight. Then i would make sure the 4 bolts (12mm) that hold the drive shaft to the rear end are tight.

If thats not it pull it apart and inspect it for damage.

Excellent point! Now that I think about it, those would make the "helicopter" noise you referred to.
I've had both of those happen to me and it DOES sound like a helicopter sound. Very good point Dark_5.0

more description on the sound is needed. first thing of thought of was the loud hummmmm of the ford fuel pump.
