Sounds as if you have too much slip
Suggest to rebuild the diff (if anything looks sus, replace it), use a good quality lube then tighten it. A correctly adjusted diff should only slip for about 1-2 meters max before taking-up.

a ball diff should never be allowed to slip. i think you meant the slipper clutch.

follow the manual for tightening the diff. if you don't know the diference between the sound of a slipper clutch or a diff that's too loose then loosen your slipper clutch right off and go for a quick run.

your problem will most probably be due to the diff being too loose, your slipper too tight or both of these.
