Symptoms of bad front drive shaft?

Have a 2008 so not covered under recall

I noticed a low rpm rattle when driving. Specifically from 1500 to 2500 or so. Sounds like marbles in a can

Only when driving, not idle - so has to be either diff, tranny, transfer case

What's interesting is that when I drive in D, the rattle is more noticeable because of quicker auto shifting at lower rpms

When I switch to manual mode and shift at 3k, the rattle is less pronounced because of more 'tension'?
