So a friend of mine had his nissan rogue 2013 towed on two wheel for no more than 2 miles. It wasn't on neutral mode. The moment he got his car back, he felt the car was making slight noises when he was driving. Is this a sign of concern?

Depends heavily on the AWD system.

Subaru full-time AWD will basically blow up in half a mile if towed on two wheels. I have no clue how Nissan's work, so it may range from "disconnected while off and its OK" to "car is totalled"

If he thinks something is off, get a mechanic to inspect and write an official report, and if they fucked it up, get a lawyer and expect a long ugly battle. Tow companies are scummy fucking shitbags and will use every trick in the book (including unenforceable, illegal disclaimers and contract terms) to get out of having to pay for the car.
