Yes the differential could make a noise when cornering as its only active when the front wheels are moving at different speeds, but i would have expected there to be a significant difference when the car was accelerating, decelerating or just running steadily. If you have a smaller spare wheel you could try fitting it and seeing if there is any difference. If it is the differential I would expect it to now be noisy in a straight line.
